Helen L. Bernie conducts clinical research in urology focused on men's sexual health, including treatments for Peyronie's disease (a condition causing penile curvature), erectile dysfunction, and the use of penile prostheses. The work also covers testosterone therapy, surgical techniques, and outcomes after prostate cancer treatment, with some studies extending to women's sexual function. Much of the research uses retrospective reviews, meta-analyses, and multi-institutional cohort studies.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
