The University of Utah Andrology Program is committed to the treatment of male infertility through research, education and patient care. It is the goal of the andrology research program to discover new approaches to treat male infertility by combing both basic research and clinical disciplines. These goals can only be achieved through the combined efforts of the research team and the University of Utah Institutional Review Board (IRB) ensuring the highest quality and ethical research available.
