At Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center’s (BIDMC) Institute for Gut-Brain Research, we have one goal guiding our work: helping our patients.
Our research group consists of a highly motivated group of scientists with expertise in enteric neuroscience, gastroenterology, psychology, epidemiology, biostatistics and clinical trials. We are committed to ensuring that one day, no patient is made to feel that their symptoms are “all in their heads.” Over the years, our studies have helped transform the way we think about the enteric nervous system and treat diseases like irritable bowel syndrome.
Housed within the Institute for Gut-Brain Research is an exciting collaboration between the clinical and basic scientists in BIDMC’s Division of Gastroenterology, the Movement Disorders Division in the Department of Neurology, and the Marcus Center for Aging Research at Harvard Medical School.
We have also established a specialized Parkinson’s Disease Gastrointestinal Clinic, where our scientists conduct multi-omic and mechanistic studies in Parkinson’s disease, the aging enteric nervous system and other neurogastrointestinal disorders.
