Excited to announce our Urogive Fellows for 2026!
The World Endo Committee runs the Urogive fellowships which provide hands-on endourology training to urologists globally who wish to gain endourology skills. @Endo_Society

[Dr. Kymora (Kee-more-uh) Scotland MD PhD @DrKScotland]

Proud of the latest from my lab! Question: do bacteria drive calcium oxalate stone formation? Answer: yes! We will show this in a 3 paper arc. Paper #1 now in press @PNASNews

[Karan Thaker @KN_Thaker]

Excited to share our manuscript published in @JEndourology on OTC supplements marketed for nephrolithiasis

Supplements highly bought despite low clinical evidence📊

Info on OTCs is low in reliability yet highly engaged📈

Many contain high oxalate based on ion chromatography⚠️

[Karan Thaker @KN_Thaker]

This weekend, @DrKScotland & RDN Shelby Yaceczko went live in a virtual kitchen teaching low oxalate recipes to stone patients!

Had a blast working at this event organized by Dr Scotland, Dr Stothers, Dr Bennett, Dr Yaceczko, @AvaMed19 & med students @ThakerSapna & Javier Prieto

[Sapna Thaker @ThakerSapna]

Excited to share our review on stone pathogenesis by @DrKScotland laboratory!

We provide an overview of the structure & physicochemical properties of CaOx stones, mechanisms of formation, and identify emerging frontiers for treatment.

Proud of the World Endo Committee @Endo_Society for championing endourology education worldwide. We will be expanding to two new sites for next year's fellowship!

[Dr. Kymora (Kee-more-uh) Scotland MD PhD @DrKScotland]

Very proud of my mentees who all matched into urology! Even more proud of them for the hard work and resilience needed to get here. I can't wait to see their contributions to urology!

Had a blast presenting at @AAOS1 and got to do my first ex-fix 💪🏻

So proud of Karan who is an extraordinary undergrad applying to med school this year. Any school will be lucky to have him!

@DrKScotland All thanks to your mentorship and guidance, thank you for all that you do for your students!

[Karan Thaker @KN_Thaker]

It was a privilege to present at #AUA2024!

Our work from Scotland lab elucidates the role of uropathogenic bacteria in CaOx stone formation.

Incredibly grateful for my amazing mentor and PI @DrKScotland and @AvaMed19 and other coauthors for their help!
