Principal Investigator

John W. Warren, M.D. Professor of Medicine/Principal Investigator "Arguably the most important unknown in IC/PBS is what causes it.  I believe that basic studies which reveal risk factors and genes of susceptibility will be extremely important in providing clues to the pathogenesis of IC/PBS."   Background and Research Interests Publications
