Male reproductive disease is a serious health issue for many men and their partners. Worldwide, malformations of the male reproductive organs are increasing, infections and chronic inflammation of the genitourinary tract beset sexually active men and aging men, and infertility afflicts one in seven couples desiring children. The causes underlying these conditions are not well-understood. These studies are intended to identify new approaches for preventing and treating these conditions.

男性生殖疾病对许多男性及其伴侣来说是一个严重的健康问题。在世界范围内，男性生殖器官畸形正在增加，生殖道感染和慢性炎症困扰着性行为活跃的男性和老年男性，每七对想要孩子的夫妇中就有一对患有不孕不育。这些情况背后的原因还没有得到很好的理解。这些研究旨在确定预防和治疗这些疾病的新方法。
