Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies the nervous system of the gut, focusing on how signaling molecules like purines (chemical messengers such as ATP) regulate gut movement and inflammation, including in conditions like gastroesophageal reflux and enteric gliosis (a nerve-support-cell response linked to intestinal inflammation). Work also includes translational studies using animal models to examine anesthesia-related effects on brain development. This research is broadly relevant to understanding digestive system disorders and related neurological questions.
