Gastrointestinal & Liver
Cutting-edge science translated into innovative treatments, tests and clinical management
Gastrointestinal & Liver
We identify and target disrupted cross-organ pathways effectively with innovative, food-, repurposed drug-based and technological solutions to reduce the burden of multi-morbidity and consequent ill-health.
We believe a multidisciplinary team science approach is essential to identify shared disease mechanisms and modifiable drivers of multi-morbidity in gastro-intestinal and liver disorders, and patient and community involvement are integral to our work.
Our leading experimental medicine and early translations studies involve GI physiology, liver metabolism, molecular microbiology, gut microbial interactions, the genomics of complex and monogenic diseases. In collaboration with the pioneering Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre we will investigate multi-organ interactions across the life span. We aim to develop innovative solutions to tackle the escalating problem of chronic disease clusters by harnessing expertise in food sciences, bioengineering and our extensive collaboration with industry.
We have five research areas:
Inter-organ pathways
Multi-organ disorders
Future food
Next generation therapeutics
Innovative technologies in translation
We have experience with knowledge transfer mechanisms (patents, CE marking, licensing) and development pathway (DPFS, NIHR EME, i4i, Innovate UK, IMI) funding schemes.
Our GI and liver research team leaders
Professor Guruprasad P. Aithal
Theme Co-Lead
Professor Aithal's research interests: drug-induced liver injury, metabolic liver disease, hepatopancreaticobiliary imaging and epidemiology of liver and biliary disorders.
Professor Neil Guha
Theme Co-Lead
Professor Guha's research interests include non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis, experimental diagnostics of chronic liver injury and clinical application of liver biomarkers.
Dr Ella Deutsch
Research Theme Manager
Each of our research themes is led by an experienced research manager who oversees all aspects of the clinical trials within their theme. They have a key role in liaising with internal and external stakeholders as well as ensuring the effective delivery of our research programmes.
