Gastrointestinal Tract Development, Injury-Repair, and Disease
Our scientists are gaining novel insights into the complex interactions between nutritional, microbial, and intrinsic factors that influence gastrointestinal function during development, health, tissue injury-repair, and inflammatory diseases. Our studies incorporate human tissue samples, clinical data, mouse models, and organoid models with the latest imaging, computer modeling, and ‘omics’ technologies. We actively collaborate with clinical colleagues in the Celiac Disease, Colorectal, Intestinal Rehabilitation, and Schubert-Martin Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) centers. We aim to develop new ways to treat gastrointestinal diseases, monitor treatment responses, and predict critical disease outcomes.
