The Vanderbilt O'Brien Kidney Center (VOKC) is one of the eight NDDK-P30 funded Centers in the United States. The mission of these core-based Centers is to provide technical and conceptual support to enhance and facilitate research in the field of kidney diseases. The goal of the VOKC is to provide support to understand mechanisms and identify potential therapies for acute and chronic kidney disease. The services provided by the VOKC are meant to help the scientific community to have the right support and tools as well as to select the right animal model, statistical analysis, and clinical study design to perform innovative research and translate discoveries into personalized care to prevent, diagnose and cure kidney disease. To achieve these goals, the VCKD has in place a program to foster collaborative investigation into critical questions of kidney disease; to personalize diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease; and to disseminate information about kidney disease and the benefits of the VOKC services and research. The Center is complemented by state-of-the art Cores and an Education and Outreach program whose goals are to provide an educational platform to enhance the study of kidney disease; to publicize information about services available through the VOKC; and to provide information about kidney disease to patients and other interested members of the community. In this review we highlight the major services and contributions of the VOKC.
