Research
Our scientists investigate gastrointestinal, liver, pancreatic and nutritional disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis and other autoimmune disorders. They have examined topics as varied as the effect of curcumin on colon cancer, potential preventive treatments for bone loss in people with irritable bowel disease, and looked for links between inflammation and aging.
Education
We are preparing medical students, residents and fellows to offer the most up-to-date and compassionate care to their patients and caretakers. Our trainees have opportunities to work with diverse patient populations among several different clinical locations across Tucson during their clerkship rotations as medical students, and during their outpatient pediatrics block and continuity clinics as residents and fellows.
