UCLA researchers, doctors to present at American Urological Association annual meeting

LOS ANGELES – Physician researchers from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA will present important information at the American Urological Association (AUA)’s Annual Meeting May 13-16 in New Orleans.

Thousands of urologists, oncologists and other urology experts will gather for the AUA’s first in-person annual meeting since 2019. The 2020 meeting was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 event was held virtually in September.

UCLA scientists and doctors are scheduled to deliver 28 abstracts, sessions and podium presentations at AUA22. You can browse by speaker or institution and view other programming.
