A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped create the Memorial Day poppy display at our West Roxbury campus! Your teamwork made this meaningful tribute truly special. The red poppy is a globally recognized symbol of remembrance to honor the fallen, and to support the Veterans and families who are our connection to them.

Congratulations to @adam_rosalyn on receiving the @SWIUorg /SBUR Excellence in Urologic Research Award at #AUA26!! Well deserved!

First meeting of the year, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to present my work. @Soc4PelvicRes @CTRC_UofSCSOM @Priviero_F @RClintonWebb1

Day 2 of #PelvRes26 Dr. Raffaella De Vita @VirginiaTech_ME showed pregnancy-induced mechanical changes to vaginal collagen. She is using machine learning and prediction models to estimate vaginal tear propagation.

Dr. Cathy Mendelsohn @Columbia shared her work on major transcription factors and genetic regulators of urothelial differentiation. @CAIRIBU1 #PelvRes26

Keynote speaker @apastusz gave an overview of his diverse research programs assessing genetic mechanisms of Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction and exciting spermatogenesis data. #PelvRes26 @UUtah

Always proud of these young scientists! Kicking off 2026 at the SPR meeting. From moderating a virtual session with the Chinese Society for Pelvic Research to sessions on neuromodulation of bladder dysfunction, they keep pushing themselves to grow into the next generation of PIs.
