Spatial Transcriptomics in Kidney Transplantation

The study is an investigator-led, prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study. The central hypothesis for this study is that spatial data will reveal new insights to immune cell function and local interactions within the kidney tissue to better predict important clinical outcomes. Investigators aspire to establish a prospective, longitudinal cohort to improve the diagnosis and management of kidney transplant rejection using precision pathology. By utilising new spatial technologies, the investigators aim to: * Derive a spatially resolved transcriptomic signature of kidney transplant rejection subtypes * Derive accurate transcriptomic signatures aligned with key cell types within the transplant kidney * Develop refinements to histological kidney rejection diagnostic and scoring classification * Correlate of spatial and refined biopsy scoring features to clinically important outcomes
