MXene materials will be a key element in the production of Nephria Bio s wearable artificial kidney technology
Drexel University’s MXene material is one step closer to transforming the lives of people suffering from end-stage kidney disease. Nephria Bio, Inc., a U.S.-based spin-off of the South Korean medical device company EOFlow Co., Ltd., has signed a licensing agreement with the University to use the two-dimensional material, discovered at Drexel, as a filter in a wearable artificial kidney device it is developing. The technology could allow many of the millions of people suffering from end-stage kidney disease worldwide to move more freely, without spending hours each week anchored to large dialysis machines.

“Integrity, integration, inclusivity, impact and innovation” are the watchwords of Drexel’s new 10-year strategic plan, which was released Dec. 17.
The two-year undertaking is summarized in a brief framework, called “Drexel 2030: Designing the Future,” that outlines the initiatives, values and goals that will guide Drexel through the anticipated challenges of the coming decade.
The plan was drafted against a backdrop of changing trends in higher education, specifically demographic declines in high school graduates and international students, and it was made more urgent over the past year by the closure of Hahnemann Hospital and the acquisition of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, the pivot to remote instruction, and nationwide calls for racial equity.
