OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Innovation in Urinary Stone Disease for Earth and Space Applications
Hunter Wessells is Professor and Nelson Chair of the Department of Urology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Dr Wessells specializes in genitourinary trauma, reconstructive surgery, and erectile dysfunction, directing a fellowship in trauma and reconstructive urology, and working with trainees to solve the challenging problems of tissue loss and fibrosis. He seeks solutions to urinary stone disease, erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract dysfunction from a number of directions ranging from cell culture systems and mouse models to collaborative multicenter studies funded by NIH, NASA and other agencies. Current investigations include genetic susceptibility to erectile dysfunction; novel therapies for kidney stones; and urological complications of diabetes. He serves as the AUA Guidelines Panel Chair for Male Urethral Stricture, Steering Committee Chair of the NIDDK sponsored Urinary Stone Disease Research Network, member on the NIDDK Strategic Planning Work Group, the Urology representative to the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, and previously as trustee of the American Board of Urology.
