Background

Jason P. Van Batavia, MD, is an attending pediatric urologist in the Division of Urology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He is an award-winning researcher and assistant professor of urology in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

Dr. Van Batavia received his undergraduate degree in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale University and his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University in New York City. He completed his general surgery internship and urology residency at Colombia University Medical Center/New York - Presbyterian Hospital and received the Mitchell C. Benson Resident Research Award at graduation. He completed his fellowship in pediatric urology at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and stayed on as an attending physician. In addition to his clinical work, he is currently completing his Master of Science in Translational Research from the University of Pennsylvania, which is grant-supported.

Dedicated to the best patient outcomes, Dr. Van Batavia approaches patient care from a comprehensive perspective. He is committed to the well-being of his patients and their families, and ensures that each patient receives the individualized care required. His scope of care is evidence-based and wide-ranging, and includes voiding dysfunction, lower urinary tract dysfunction, disorders of sex development, hypospadias, neurogenic bladder secondary to myelomeningocele or other spinal processes, urodynamics, renal and ureteral obstruction, and vesicoureteral reflux. His knowledge in conjunction with his desire to provide the best pediatric care has led him to spearhead a variety of clinical and translational projects that continue to advance the field of pediatric urology.

In his young career, Dr. Van Batavia’s expertise in and contributions to pediatric urology have been recognized via numerous awards, and he has received three federal and national grants since joining the CHOP urology faculty. He is the author or co-author of over 50 publications, including peer-reviewed articles, reviews, book chapters and editorials. 

In May 2018, Dr. Van Batavia received the Diokonos-Lapides Grand Prize award for his research in how the brain controls urinating. This international award is recognized as the most prestigious urology award for neuro-urology research. He is currently funded with a competitive KL2 grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Van Batavia is a member of several national professional societies, including the Society for Pediatric Urology, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section of Urology, the Society for Basic Urologic Research, and the Society for Neuroscience. He is currently a Co-Chair for Membership for the AAP Section of Urology and attends their biannual executive committee meetings.

Dr. Van Batavia was recently interviewed by CHOP’s Research Institute about his research specialty. Read the Q&A.
