Urology Care Foundation Award

, is the recipient of a 2022 Urology Care Foundation Research Award of Distinction.

Renea Sturm, MD, Assistant Professor of Urology, is the recipient of a 2022 Urology Care Foundation Research Award of Distinction. She is recognized for a two-year research project on “Bio-inspired Urethral Design: Scaffold Creation and Evaluation.” When urethral replacement or repair is required, alternative tissue options are limited and are associated with high risk of short and long-term complications. Under the mentorship of Nasim Annabi, Ali Khademhosseini and urology professor Dr. Isla Garraway, Sturm evaluated the biomechanical characteristics of urethral tissue. They applied this knowledge to generate novel engineered biomimetic constructs with optimized properties to support urethral tissue regeneration in certain conditions. This award acknowledges outstanding contributions to urology research, the dedication of exemplary research mentors and the efforts of talented early- career scholars.
