My main areas of interest are within regenerative medicine for congenital malformation surgery. In our laboratory we perform quality controls on cultured human cells using micro molecular techniques and translate our findings with bioinformatics tools. We also perform wound-healing assays and try to develop scaffolds for in vivo tissue regeneration in collaboration with chemical engineering scientists.
I like networking and like to support international collaborations within Research and Clinical Pediatric Urology.

My main area of interest is in DSD pathophysiology and surgery, placing a special emphasis on the genetic basis of genital malformations, especially hypospadias. My multi-disciplinary research protocols, developed in close collaboration with my hospital’s pediatric endocrinology unit, are focused on the role of environment and the possible role of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the occurrence of the malformation.
