We are studying the genetic origins and complications of urinary tract abnormalities

 

The Columbia University O’Brien Center for Benign Urology brings together research programs in human genetics and mouse models to address the causes of congenital urinary tract malformations. Our multidisciplinary team focuses on identifying the genetic and embryological causes of obstruction and the related events that lead to renal disease, sharing our findings with other researchers in benign urology and educating the next generation of clinician-scientists in the field.
