Robert E. Hurst, PhD, is a Professor of Urology. He earned his Bachelors of Science from Auburn University and his PhD in
biochemistry from Florida State University. He joined the faculty here in 1983 and provides a strong basic
science research expertise that interfaces with the clinical program. Dr. Hurst's main interests are: the
emergence of the malignant and invasive/metastatic phenotypes of bladder and prostate cancer; the role of
cell-cell and epithelial- stromal interactions in expression of the malignant phenotype; biomarkers for
diagnosis and prognosis of malignancy and the carcinogenic process, and the molecular basis for bladder
