Associate Vice-President Research
University of Calgary
Dr. Buret’s research: Similar inflammatory, immunologic, and pathophysiologic events characterize disease processes at mucosal sites such as the intestine and the lung. Critical issues to this research area include understanding the role of immune cells and mediators, and the role of cell death, in the production of disease. The overall aim of my research is to define cell-cell interactions in these systems, and how such interactions may affect gastrointestinal and pulmonary physiology, responsiveness, and inflammation, in an attempt to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

Katherine S. Garman, MD, MHS
Associate Professor of Medicine
Division of Gastroenterology
Member of the Molecular and Physiology Institute
Duke University
Practicing Gastroenterologist at the Durham VA
The Garman lab is focused on mechanisms of esophageal repair and the pathogenesis of Barrett’s metaplasia and esophageal cancer. We work closely with collaborators at NCSU as part of CGIBD’s large animal core and we have developed porcine models or esophageal repair. The porcine models are particularly important to our work as pig esophagus is similar to human due to the presence of esophageal submucosal glands (ESMGs). Much of our work focuses on the role of ESMGs as a protected stem and progenitor cell source in the esophagus. We also use 3D culture models of ESMGs. One our active projects focuses on the effects of gastrin signaling in esophageal repair, metaplasia and carcinogenesis.

Dr. Jensen’s research focuses primarily on etiologic mechanisms for diseases in the pediatric population. Her training was in reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology and much of her research ahs focused on early life perturbations implicated in future development of disease.
Dr. Jensen has contributed significantly to the epidemiologic literature on eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. Her research on eosinophilic esophagitis, incorporates genetic data to investigate ho certain early life factors my contribute to disease development in genetically-susceptible individuals. She is also evaluating the relationship between treatment approach and growth in children affected by eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. This body of research may help inform treatment decisions in children diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis.

“My long-term goal is to understand how the apical junctional complex, including tight and adherens junction, can be manipulated for therapeutic purposes in patients with digestive diseases. In my current research, I study the role of adherens junctions in regulation of intestinal epithelial permeability and differentiations in ClC-2 deficient mice. I also study mechanisms of action of the barrier protective pharmaceutical agent larazotide in an anoxia-induced intestinal injury model.”
