The Kawabe Award is a long-standing award presented by the Japanese Society of Urinary Function, designed to encourage and support young researchers engaged in clinical and basic research on lower urinary tract function in sharing their findings internationally.
This award-winning research is also scheduled to be presented as an oral presentation at the International Continence Society (ICS) conference to be held in October, providing an opportunity to share the research findings we have accumulated to date on the international stage.
In addition, Dr. Yoshimura, as a Graduate Schoolstudent at Kochi University Medical Schoolin the Department of Pharmacology, undertook this research and played a central role in advancing the project—from experimentation to data analysis—for approximately two years. The research achievements accumulated through collaboration between the Department of Urology and the Department of Pharmacology were recognized, leading to this year’s Kawabe Award.
