  3. Sperm Molecular Biology • Research Goals • Director, Polina Lishko

  4. Genetics of Male Infertility • Research Goals • Director, Shweta Choudhry

  5. Epidemiology and Geospatial Modeling • Population-based male reproductive research • Director: To be determined

  6. Fertility Preservation • To understand the effect of cancer and cancer treatment on male reproduction • To identify barriers to fertility preservation • To understand how desire for fertility affects cancer treatment decisions • To identify means to improve fertility preservation • Director, James Smith
