Current Research Interests
My lab studies the neonatal bladder, in terms of maturation of bladder smooth muscle as well as voiding reflexes. By understanding how the bladder matures into a storage organ, and how the brain and peripheral nervous system coordinate the function of the bladder with the urethral sphincter, we hope to develop new treatments for both pediatric voiding dysfunction and adult urinary incontinence.
