Bernard Churchill, MD
Dr. Bernard Churchill's research focus is in the area of pediatric urology. In particular, he is currently collaborating with Dr. Eric Vilain (UCLA Departments of Urology, Human Genetics and Pediatrics) who is the Principal Investigator on a multi-institutional grant awarded by The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for the establishment of a registry for Disorders of Sex Development (DSD).
In addition to UCLA, this award involves multiple sites (University of Michigan, with Dr. David Sandberg, co-PI, UCSF and University of Washington, Seattle), and is the first to tackle the standardization of genetic, endocrine and imaging diagnosis of DSD, the investigation of psychosocial outcomes, and the delivery of best practices for the care of children and adults with DSD.
