Research Focus

The overall aim of my research is to understand the immuno-enteroendocrine axis of intestinal inflammation and metabolic responses in inflammatory conditions. This is an emerging area of interest which needs further exploration into other disease conditions.

Background and experience

I am a gastroenterology trainee in the East of England with special interest in nutrition, intestinal failure and intestinal transplant. I have gastroenterology advanced training programme at St Mark's Hospital, National IF Centre, and Cambridge Intestinal Transplant Unit.

Working at the IMS-MRL

My current research focus on gut hormone responses in patients with short bowel syndrome and intestinal transplant. My research is driven by the need for improved metabolic insights and therapeutic strategies for patients coping with this complex condition.
