    CAIRIBU Uro-Aging Research Interest Group (UroAging RIG) Knowledge Exchange

    (2 PM Central | 12 PM Pacific) Zoom Link

    The CAIRIBU Interactions Core is working with various CAIRIBU Community leaders to develop research interest groups around specific topics in urology research. The Uro-Aging Research Interest Group (UroAging RIG) will connect uro-aging interested CAIRIBU and non-CAIRIBU investigators from a variety of fields such as urology, urogynecology, geroscience, neurology, neuro-urology, urobiome, nutrition, toxicology, and bioinformatics. As a way to kick-start this group, we will schedule monthly knowledge exchanges as a way to get to know each other, discuss recent research, develop collaborations, and strategize on ways to advance uro-aging research. We meet virtually every fourth Monday. ALL are welcome. This month, investigators will engage in strategic research planning, revisiting the uro-aging research roadmap introduced at the last strategic session.
