Research at MenGenics

Our research pillars, the concept-stage research lines currently in development, and our two flagship programs.

Our Research Pillars

Ten interconnected areas of focus across the male healthspan.

Hormonal & Endocrine Health

Research into male endocrine physiology, testosterone, metabolic interactions, aging, and hormone-related health.

Sexual Health

Research and education related to male sexual function, physiology, vascular health, and quality of life.

Male Fertility & Reproductive Health

Research into semen health, sperm biology, oxidative stress, reproductive aging, fertility biomarkers, and evidence-based interventions.

Metabolic Health

Research focused on insulin resistance, obesity, body composition, metabolic syndrome, and their relationship with male health.

Cardiovascular Health

Research into cardiovascular risk factors and their relationship with sexual, metabolic, hormonal, and longevity outcomes.

Longevity & Healthy Aging

Research focused on preserving physical function, metabolic health, cognition, independence, and quality of life throughout aging.

Performance & Recovery

Study of sleep, exercise, stress, recovery, body composition, nutrition, and physiological performance.

Precision Men's Health

Research involving biomarkers, diagnostics, risk stratification, genomics, personalized health strategies, and longitudinal health data.

Mental Performance & Cognitive Health

Scientific exploration of stress, cognition, sleep, executive performance, resilience, and their interaction with physical health.

Preventive Men's Health

Research focused on identifying risk earlier and improving evidence-based prevention across the male lifespan.

Current Research Lines

Every line below begins with a PICO question and a literature review before any protocol is written. Nothing here represents an enrolling study, a completed result, or a named investigator — statuses reflect exactly where each line stands today.

Concept

Testosterone Replacement Therapy & Andrology

Observational research into TRT protocols, monitoring practices, and long-term outcomes in an andrology population.

Research Objective
Define a PICO question on TRT monitoring and outcomes; scope initial literature review.
Proposed Design
Observational registry / retrospective cohort, prior to any interventional design.
Regulatory Path
To be determined pending IRB and HIPAA data-use review.
Publication Status
Not yet published.
Concept

Erectile Dysfunction & Vascular Health

Research examining the overlap between erectile dysfunction and early cardiovascular risk markers.

Research Objective
Literature review and PICO question development.
Proposed Design
Observational cohort.
Regulatory Path
To be determined.
Publication Status
Not yet published.
Concept

Hispanic Men's Hormonal Health — Longitudinal Data

Exploring longitudinal patterns in hormonal and metabolic health within the Hispanic male population.

Research Objective
Define baseline observational questions ahead of any registry design.
Proposed Design
Observational. Any use of member data would require prior IRB review and individual consent or HIPAA authorization; none is used today.
Regulatory Path
HIPAA authorization / IRB determination pending.
Publication Status
Not yet published.
Concept

Peptide Therapeutics in Men's Health

Scoping research into peptide-based interventions — pursued only where a clear regulatory pathway exists.

Research Objective
Regulatory and literature scoping only at this stage.
Proposed Design
Not yet determined; contingent on regulatory pathway (21 CFR 312).
Regulatory Path
Under review — will not proceed without a clear IND/exemption determination.
Publication Status
Not yet published.
Concept

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Andrology

Early-stage inquiry into hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunct in select andrology applications.

Research Objective
Literature review and PICO question development.
Proposed Design
Not yet determined.
Regulatory Path
To be determined.
Publication Status
Not yet published.
On research integrity. MenGenics Research Program will never display a study, investigator, institutional affiliation, or result that is not real and verifiable. Where information is not yet available, this page says so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
In Development

MenGenics Male Fertility Research Program™

Building on the Program's existing fertility-focused clinical initiative.

This flagship track focuses on male infertility, semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation, oxidative stress, micronutrients, lifestyle, metabolic health, hormonal factors, environmental exposures, reproductive aging, and assisted reproduction outcomes.

In Development

MenGenics Male Longevity Research Program™

Focused on metabolic aging, body composition, cardiovascular risk, hormonal aging, cognitive health, sleep, exercise, nutrition, inflammation, physical function, and biomarkers of aging.

Our focus is extending healthspan, function, and quality of life — not unsupported claims about extending lifespan.

50–59

Risk Management

Active cardiovascular and urologic risk management.

60–69

Healthy Aging

Preserving function, cognition, independence.
