Terry Furey, PhD
Associate Professor
Department of Genetics and the Department of Biology
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Furey lab is interested in understanding IBD heterogeneity at the molecular and microbial levels. We use high throughput sequencing-based genomic assays to measure gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and microbial composition in tissue samples from well-phenotyped Crohn’s disease and non-IBD patients. With these, we aim to link unique molecular signatures with clinical variables to both uncover CD subtypes associated with disease phenotypes as well as begin elucidating potential cellular mechanisms driving disease.

William Parker, PhD
Associate Professor in Surgery
Duke University Medical Center
Dr. Parker has studied biochemistry and immunology at Duke University since 1993. He is best known for the discovery of the function of the human vermiform appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), Dr. Parker has spent the last 15 years looking at fundamental cultural causes of inflammation in Western societies. His work on “biota alteration”, a concept which evolved from the “hygiene hypothesis”, has led to the discovery that intestinal worms, called helminths, are very supportive of healthy neuropsychiatric function in adults and in children.

“ Gut microbiota dysbiosis in infection and IBD: from iron to new therapies ”
Andre G. Buret, PhD
Professor
Departments of Biologicals Sciences, Physiology and Pharmacology
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.
