The UCLA Department of Urology
 The
Department of Urology supports a number of major research programs. Our
purpose is to contribute significantly to diagnosis, prevention and treatment
of urologic diseases including, but not limited to, cancers, renal transplantation,
sexual dysfunction, and spina bifida. Our goal is to increase basic research,
population-based research and rapidly translate the findings into clinical
trials and community applications.
Basic scientific research is conducted in research labs based in clinical
departments, through the Clark Urological Center, the Jonsson Comprehensive
Cancer Center, the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Center,
Harbor UCLA Medical Center, Oliveview Medical Center and Bowyer Surgical
Oncology Center. The UCLA Department of Urology is an integrated research
community where collaboration and interaction are fostered and prized.
Scientists at the various research centers collaborate extensively with
their clinical colleagues to find scientific solutions to specific urological
problems.
What sets the UCLA Department of Urology apart from others nationwide is
the close collaboration and partnership of our research scientists with
our faculty members—internationally renowned
physician specialists in their fields—on advancing the field of urology.
This unique collaboration makes UCLA a leader in new treatments and cures
for urology patients nationwide.
