Live Uti Free
Recurrent UTIs are more common than you think- 7 million females experience a UTI each year in the USA - 30-44% will have a UTI recurrence - 1 in 2 females will experience a UTI in their lifetime - 85% of all UTI diagnoses are in females - UTI is the most common adult bacterial infection globally - Standard UTI testing is inaccurate in at least 50% of cases -$1Billion is spent annually on UTI healthcare in the USA alone Although the inaccuracies of standard UTI testing methods are well documented, guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of recurrent and chronic UTI are virtually non-existent. The inadequacy of guidelines and testing has created a two-pronged problem- Practitioners do not have the resources or guidance required to assist females stuck in the cycle of chronic UTI - Females who suffer from recurrent and chronic UTI are left with long term, debilitating symptoms, and no hope for permanent treatment At Live UTI Free we recognize the need for better access to information on both sides of this equation, and we strive to provide an actionable resource for females to pursue better testing and better treatment. In the process, we are creating the most comprehensive global database of the patient perspective around recurrent and chronic UTI.

Specifically, our research focuses on the development of natural polymer (such as collagen) scaffold-based therapeutics for tissue engineering with target applications in bone, cartilage, skin, cardiovascular, corneal, respiratory and neural tissues. A major focus of ongoing research has been to functionalise these scaffolds for use as delivery systems for biomolecules with a particular interest in the delivery of nucleic acids (pDNA, siRNA and miRNA) to enhance their therapeutic potential. We also investigate the use of these scaffolds as advanced 3D pathophysiology in vitro systems for drug development and for studying cellular crosstalk in co-cultures and understanding disease states in cancer, angiogenesis, immunology & infection. In addition, we study the response of living cells to mechanical stimuli (mechanobiology) and investigate how biophysical stimuli can regulate stem cell differentiation.
