Texas Children’s Hospital is excited to welcome Dr. Paul Austin to the Division of Urology.
Beginning July 1, Austin will lead the Division’s Complex Urological Reconstruction Program as well as serve as Urologic Director for the Spina Bifida, ARM, and Gender Medicine multidisciplinary clinics. He also will establish a new Pediatric Urologic Basic Science Research Lab. Austin’s research interests include bladder pathology, kidney repair, renal fibrosis, stone disease, and kidney development.
Austin comes to Texas Children’s Hospital from Washington University in St. Louis, where he is currently Professor of Surgery, Director of the Multidisciplinary Spina Bifida Program, and leader of a robust basic science research lab with substantial NIH funding.
For his many contributions to the field of Pediatric Urology, Austin was recognized with the John W. Duckett Pediatric Research Excellence Award from the American Urology Association’s Urology Care Foundation in 2016.
