Systems and methods for culture of human kidney organoids as a model system for characterizing kidney pathologies and implementing therapeutics for conditions that affect the kidney. A model system for characterization of a pathophysiology includes a culture of human kidney organoids and an organoid culture medium. The organoids may include one or more genome edits as part of an approach for studying genetic factors involved with a pathological process. The culture may include one or more other factors, such as pathological agents and/or anti-pathological agents, for development and evaluation of therapeutics. The approaches may be used for implementation of compositions and methods for virally transducing the kidney or a subset of cells or cell types thereof.
