Personal Statement
My research interests are to evaluate the role of gut microbiome and its metabolites on different disease states. My ongoing research has focused on intestinal bacterial-produced gases that have a significant but poorly-understood impact on human disease and symptoms. My recent work has focused on gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and liver physiology impact of the microbiome. My focus has been on translational research incorporating bench-to-bedside studies.
