RESEARCH

The STAR Consortium  is dedicated to performing high-quality research in reproductive and sexual medicine.
 
To achieve  this goal, the STAR Consortium is supporting three directions of research which include the following:
​
1: Prospectively maintained databases
2: Collection and shipment of andrology bio-specimens
3: Prospective Randomized Clinical Trials
​
These three objectives will promote the production of high quality clinical and translational research leading to medical advancements in our field.
​
Below, you will find more information on our current projects.
