I completed GI Fellowship training at the University of Michigan where I worked in the lab of Dr. Jorge Gumucio (1978-80). I obtained three more years of research training at the National Institutes of Health in the NIDDK, Digestive Diseases Branch under the mentorship of Drs. Jerry D. Gardner and Robert T. Jensen (1980-83). Since July 1983, I maintain an independent research program whose unifying theme is the study of gastrointestinal regulatory molecules and signal transduction; I have been funded by R01, R21 and T32 awards from NIH (NIDDK and NCI), by the VA Merit program, and by foundations (e.g. AGA/Industry Award). I presented my work at prominent national meetings, secured patents, and published more than200 peer-reviewed research papers, reviews and book chapters (including 19 first- or senior-author scientific publications in the American Journal of Physiology, 10 in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, three each in Biochemical Pharmacology and Biomedical Biophysical Research Communications, two each in Cancer Research, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Carcinogenesis, Molecular Cancer, and PLoS One, and one each in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), Experimental Cell Research, and the Biochemical Journal).
