NYU School of Medicine receives $8.2M grant from NIDDK to continue urological disease research
Date:8/17/2010

an estimated $1-2 billion in direct healthcare costs in the United States annually.1 Abnormalities in bladder urothelial cells are involved in several other important urologic diseases including overactive bladder, painful bladder syndrome, which mainly affects women 2, and bladder cancer which is the fourth most common cancer in men 3 and the most expensive cancer to manage. Treatment of these diseases costs the American public almost $11 billion annually.4

"Dr. Sun and his multidisciplinary team are uniquely poised to address key questions regarding the structure and function of the bladder urothelium," said Chris Mullins, PhD, director of Basic Cell Biology Programs, Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases, NIDDK. "Their work is expected to yield significant insights into the role these cells play in urinary tract infections."
