Research Focus
Dr. Jonathan R. Pollack's lab at Stanford University focuses on studying the role of the immune system in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that can cause urinary problems as men age. The lab investigates how specific T-cells contribute to the development of BPH and the factors that trigger these immune responses. By exploring these mechanisms, the research aims to develop better prevention and treatment strategies for this common condition.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
