Pasquale Casale, MD, Chief, Pediatric Urology at New York-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital was 2018 Visiting Professor for UCSF Pediatric Urology this February.
“He graciously shared his expertise in robotic and minimal invasive surgery, the treatment of pediatric stone disease and new technologies with our team,” said UCSF chief of pediatric urology, Laurence Baskin, MD.
Baskin Lab members Tom Gaither and Dylan Issacson showed their dedication to the field of pediatric urology during the recent American Urologic Association annual meeting 2017 held in Boston, Ma. As they begin to shape their careers, the presentation of posters, abstracts and podium discussions at the AUA lays an important foundation.
The collaboration between Gerald Cunha, PhD and Laurence Baskin, MD began one day approximately a quarter of a century ago when, after reading some of Dr. Cunha’s work, Dr. Baskin decided to drop in and introduce himself.
“That’s my recollection,” says Dr. Cunha “he just walked into my lab and we sat down and started talking. It was not a random thing. He had read some of my papers and decided to come after me…We started chatting and there was an immediate meeting of the minds.”
We would like to acknowledge our incredible UCSF research team, all of our collaborators, all of our funding sources and specifically support from UCSF Department of Urology to make this project possible.
We have assembled some of the brightest minds in pediatric science to help explore leading questions and bridge the gap between bench and bedside. From postdoctoral scholars to senior scientists, our group is passionate about leading the way.
