Sexual Medicine Research Team

Our Published Projects
SMRT has generated an amplitude of research projects that have been submitted for publication in places such as the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Additionally, our members have presented posters of their projects at conferences such as the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA). We are very proud of their achievements and look forward to the contributions that SMRT members will make to the growing field of sexual medicine research!
