Daniel Sanchez Almanzar
Post-doctoral Fellow
From Bogota, Colombia he graduated with his MD from Universidad de Los Andes in 2021. “I have always had a great interest in urology, and during my last year in medical school I had the opportunity to work in projects on congenital malformations, benign prostatic hyperplasia, public health, and lower urinary tract dysfunction. Having the chance to work with patients with LUT dysfunctions aroused in me an interest in understanding the pathophysiology that underly such problems”. He currently works with Dr. Mathai on studies related to neural control of urinary continence.

Ali Wu
Post-doctoral Fellow
Dr. Wu She got her Internal medicine MD in Xi’an Jiaotong University, P.R. China. She is currently a researcher in Dr. Yu’s lab and is interested in investigating the molecular mechanism of purinergic signaling in bladder smooth muscle contractility. Dr. Wu also works with others in the team to investigate the sympathetic neural control of kidney sodium handling in and blood pressure regulation in genetically engineered mice.
