The Department of Urology at the University of Cincinnati has a long and distinguished history of surgical research that is recognized nationally and internationally. Our Urologist are drawn to pursue innovative and exciting research in state-of-the-art laboratories that focus on to the bedside for the advancement of patient care. Clinical trials not available elsewhere are also offered for a variety of diseases, giving hope to patients with critical illness who were once considered untreatable.

The research mission is to generate new knowledge of the scientific basis of surgically-related disease and to provide outstanding scientific training for the surgeons and surgical scientists of the future. The primary objectives are: 

1. To be on the cutting edge of surgical research 
2. To help develop new applications to clinical care 
3. To provide outstanding research training for surgical residents and surgical scientists.
