AUA Research Weekend (2020)

FREE FOR MEMBERS!
Access on-demand webcasts of the AUA's most popular research programming.


Available on Friday, July 10:

Basic Sciences Symposium: "Novel Technologies for Benign Urology Research"
Program Chairs: Margot Damaser, PhD and Robert Gereau, PhD
Recent technological advances are enabling both rapid scientific advancement and development of improvements in clinical care. This webcast brings together pioneers in technology development with researchers and clinicians interested in benign urology research to discuss new findings under the following themes: tissue engineering and nanotechnology, novel technologies for wireless monitoring and control, and technology-enabled advances in neural control.

Available on Friday, July 10:

Urologic Oncology Research Symposium: "Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Impact of Macro and Microenvironment on Efficacy" 
Program Chairs: Peter Black, MD and William Kim, MD
Rapid growth in the field of immune checkpoint inhibition has transformed treatment paradigms for genitourinary cancers, and the use of immunotherapy is under active investigation in almost all genitourinary malignancies and disease states. This webcast will provide opportunities for new knowledge about the tumor immune microenvironment of genitourinary tumors as well as host factors that may impact immune checkpoint (IC) response, and explore novel targets as well as non-IC immunotherapy modalities.

Available on Saturday, July 11:

Challenges for Urologic Research: "Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning”
Program Chair: Craig Niederberger, MD
Robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are playing increasingly important roles in research and clinical practice. This webcast is designed to review current applications of these technologies, describe the underlying science and engineering that make these tools possible, and explore how they will drive future innovations in urology research and practice.

Available on Saturday, July 11:

Early-Career Investigators Showcase
This webcast is dedicated to the work of some of the best and brightest new investigators in urology, showcasing their discoveries in high-impact basic, translational, and clinical research. Participants are nominated by AUA Sections, sub-specialty societies, or members of the AUA Board of Directors or AUA Research Council and Committees. Ten nominees have been selected by a peer-review panel to present their research via webcast presentations, and digital scientific posters from all nominees will be available for viewing.
