My main areas of interest are lower urinary tract symptoms, urotherapy, bladder and bowel management, conservative treatment of bladder anomalies, behavioral therapy, CIC and anxiety. Together with my team, I am responsible of the inpatient and outpatient coordination of care of children with lower urinary tract symptoms. Furthermore, I coordinate educational programs for urotherapists, physiotherapist, nationally and internationally. I like scientific research as a basis for further professionalization and improvement of quality of care. My research is focused on behavioral aspects of treatment of children with bowel and bladder problems, the ongoing search to the etiology of LUTS and development of technological, digital solutions or devices as supporting treatment tools
