CAIRIBU has various groups dedicated to different urological specialties. These groups offer a wealth of resources, expert knowledge, and collaborative opportunities for professionals and researchers. See below for more information on Research Interest Groups (RIGs), Other Urology Organizations, and different channels catering to specific topics in the field of urology.
Research Interest Groups
See below for the currently existing CAIRIBU Research Interest Groups, or RIGs, which are specialized teams focused on advancing research and collaboration in various aspects of urological health. These groups include experts and researchers dedicated to specific areas such as uromicrobiota, machine learning, and kidney stones.
Uromicrobiota Research Interest Group (U-RIG)
This group includes investigators interested in the uromicrobiota from a variety of fields including urology, urogynecology, microbiology, microbial ecology, virology, bioinformatics, and computer and data science.
Machine Learning Research Interest Group (ML-RIG)
The ultimate goal of this group is to develop and validate a machine learning model that predicts treatment failure and success in patients with various urologic conditions, starting with women who have OAB.
Stone Research Interest Group (Stone-RIG)
CAIRIBU-affiliated investigators study epidemiology and etiology of stone formation, cellular and metabolic pathophysiology, genetic contributors, environmental and nutrition-related contributors, and stone prevention.
Other Urology Organizations
See below for a list of notable urology organizations outside of CAIRIBU. These organizations offer extensive resources, research, educational opportunities, and support for both professionals and patients within the field of urology. Each organization contributes uniquely to the advancement of urological health through various programs, publications, and events.
AUA
See information about the American Urological Association, a premier urologic association that aims promote the highest standards of urological clinical care.
SUFU
See information about the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction, that aims to optimize the care of people with lower urinary tract dysfunction and/or pelvic floor disorders.
SBUR
See information about the Society for Basic Urologic Research, the pre-eminent US-based urologic research society that provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of topics related to urology
