Das Research

Basic research: My major interests include understanding the effects of bladder outlet obstruction on bladder function and elucidating the mechanisms of sacral neuromodulation for refractory voiding dysfunction. I have been working with rabbit and rat models of bladder outlet obstruction to determine the effects of short and long term obstruction on various parameters determining detrusor function. We have also combined an outlet obstruction model in rabbits with sacral neuromodulation to study the effects of sacral neuromodulation on the decompensated detrusor.
Clinical Research: I have been involved in carrying out Phase I – Phase IV clinical drug trials and have also helped develop Phase II and Phase III studies. Most of these studies are in the fields of lower urinary tract symptoms/ benign prostatic enlargement in men or stress or urge incontinence in women. Some of the recent studies are listed below.
