Mission Statement • The UCSF/UC Berkeley Male Reproductive Biology group is committed to advancing excellence in patient care and research. This highly collaborative research group seeks to: 1. Understand basic mechanisms of male reproduction 2. Translate knowledge of basic male reproductive mechanisms into clinical diagnostic and therapeutic male infertility interventions.
Spermatogenesis and Stem Cell Biology • Research Goals • Director, Nam Tran
Sperm Molecular Biology • Research Goals • Director, Polina Lishko
Genetics of Male Infertility • Research Goals • Director, Shweta Choudhry
Epidemiology and Geospatial Modeling • Population-based male reproductive research • Director: To be determined
Fertility Preservation • To understand the effect of cancer and cancer treatment on male reproduction • To identify barriers to fertility preservation • To understand how desire for fertility affects cancer treatment decisions • To identify means to improve fertility preservation • Director, James Smith
Clinical Trials • TKI and male reproduction – To measure the effect of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors on male reproductive function
