Dr. Scherr sits on several advisory boards at companies involved in urology technology development. He has been influential in the ergonomics of robot technology. He has been active in the development of optical coherence tomography and its application for urological imaging.
Also active in the Urology Oncology Laboratory, Dr. Scherr has been instrumental in defining the regulation of bladder cancer hormones and is currently developing a new class of compounds that utilize the innate immune system to fight urological tumors. He is working on the development of a non-invasive means for assessing human tissue at a microscopic level. To this end, he has patented and developed the concept of "multiphoton endotopia" that utilizes high-speed laser energy to create microscopic images of high-quality human tissue. This breakthrough has extensive applications in cystoscopy, colonoscopy and bronchoscopy.
