Innovation: Pediatric Urology

Innovation

The Division of Pediatric Urology maintains a strong investment in basic science and clinical research. We believe laboratory research provides integral insights into caring for children with urinary tract problems and the goal is to identify ways to prevent and/or minimize the morbidity of these disorders. Our clinical research is broad based and centered on both outcomes and translational research from our benches to the bedside.

Below you can review the various efforts currently underway. If you are interested in participating in any studies or if you have any questions, please reach out to PediatricUrologyResearch@vumc.org.
