The Northeastern Section of the American Urological Association, Inc.

I am very active clinically and specialize in endourology and stone disease with other interests in erectile dysfunction and male infertility. Earlier in my career, I was involved in some more basic science research with the effects of PDE-5 inhibitors using a hypercholesterolemic rabbit model, but funding was difficult after the first few experiments. The Northeastern Section grants were key to supporting continuing research and allowing some extra training that was not provided during my residency training. These grants are very important to the future success of our Section and to stimulate residents to pursue academic urology.
