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.

We are very thankful to the Society for Pelvic Research for the opportunity of having our trainees working actively as moderators of these sessions. @SAWilczynski moderated the session on pelvic anatomy and bladder (dys)function and she did an amazing work! #PelvRes23

[CARDIOVASCULAR TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH CENTER @CTRC_UofSCSOM]

To wrap up the session on male and female sexual (dys)function, our graduate student @SAWilczynski did a wonderful job presenting her work on LRRC8A in female sexual dysfunction. Great talk, Steph! @rinaldo_passos @_cintiavs @FerPriviero @Gisele_F_Bomfim #PelvRes23
