This is a biomedical/urology center mechanism centered on clinical and basic medical research, which is far outside IPPRA’s social-behavioral risk, policy, education, and hazard-communication lines. The team might contribute only peripherally on communication or public-health context, but it is not a plausible PI-level fit for anyone here.
