Research Interests

One of the major areas of interest in our lab has been research related to neurogenic bladder due to neurologic disorders. We have evaluated drugs to improve bladder function, worked on other modalities such as magnetic stimulator and surgical use of lasers to correct voiding disorders. We have developed the role of linear array sonography for the optimal evaluation of bladder neuromuscular disorders. Other focused areas in our lab include studies on hypercoagulation, electroejaculation and bone mineral density.
