Current Women’s Health Research Opportunities
Women’s health research plays an important role in The Institute for Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery. As a result of both Dr. Lucente and Dr. Murphy’s national reputation and expertise, pharmaceutical and surgical instrument companies bring their new product developments to the Institute. Under the medical advisement and guidance of our physicians, many research protocols are available at the Institute. We take great pride in continuously updating you on all the new and exciting research opportunities. All of the clinical research trials have full Investigational Review Board (IRB) approval and are conducted by experienced research personnel, assuring good clinical practice.
