Urobiome Research Interest Group

CAIRIBU Urobiome RIG

The Uromicrobiota Research Interest Group (U-RIG) includes CAIRIBU and non-CAIRIBU investigators interested in the uromicrobiota. Investigators are clinicians and scientists from a variety of fields including urology, urogynecology, microbiology, microbial ecology, virology, bioinformatics, and computer and data science.

The primary objective of forming the CAIRIBU U-RIG was to bridge gaps in knowledge within the urobiome research community by creating a structured platform for experts to share insights and engage in collaborative efforts. The first CAIRIBU RIGs to coalesce are the Urobiome RIG, Uro-Aging RIG, and Voiding Dysfunction RIG.
