About
Areas of Focus
- Esophageal disorders
- Swallowing disorders
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
Work/Research
- Defining normal and abnormal esophageal function by using physiology, principles of biomechanics, mathematical modeling and in-silico simulations
- Developing new tools to better understand esophageal diseases
- Developing better biomarkers of esophageal disease severity and discovering new targets for therapy
- Ultimate goal is to develop a universal model that connects the molecular perturbations that lead to abnormal esophageal bolus transport and describe how these mechanical changes lead to symptoms and reduced quality of life.
