My primary clinical research interests are centered on understanding the changes that occur in the semen parameters
in men as a function of time and season, and the within and between subject variation in these semen parameters.
Understanding these basic aspects of semen profiles in men will significantly assist physicians in accurately diagnosing
infertility and in planning treatment modalities in infertile men. I am also interested in defining proper quality control
procedures for andrology laboratories to ensure more accurate semen analyses.
