Research summary
AI-generated

Alan Harzman's work spans colorectal surgery and surgical education research, including studies on postoperative bowel dysfunction (ileus), the biology of the gut's nervous system (enteric neurons), and technologies like laser imaging and AI to assess blood flow during colorectal surgery. He also publishes on surgical training methods, resident well-being, and educational program outcomes. This combination suggests a research program that bridges basic/translational gut biology with clinical surgical practice and medical education.
