Clinical and Integrative Gastrointestinal Pathobiology Study Section [CIGP]

[CIGP Membership Roster] [CIGP Meeting Rosters]


The Clinical and Integrative Gastrointestinal Pathobiology [CIGP] Study Section reviews applications concerned with basic and clinically-oriented research related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system, motility, brain-gut interactions, enteric nervous system, motor disorders, acid secretion and acid related disease, GI hormones, pancreatic function and dysfunction, digestive system nutrient absorption, malabsorption/malnutrition, nutritional support, integrative GI physiology, genetic determinants of digestive diseases and digestive system patient-oriented research.

Specific areas covered by CIGP are:

  • GI motility, neurotransmitters, brain-gut interactions, enteric nervous system. GI hormones, transmitters, and their actions. Acid secretion and acid related disease.
  • Fluid and electrolyte transport, diarrhea and constipation. Digestive system nutrient absorption and disposition, malabsorption/ malnutrition. 
  • Exocrine pancreas function and dysfunction, therapy for genetic and acquired pancreatitis.
  • Integrative GI physiology: Studies ranging from normal physiology to mechanisms and consequences of disease. Genetic determinants of digestive diseases, including increased risk of disorders of the digestive tract, inherited metabolic disorders, gene-gene interactions, genetic risk assessment and gene-environment interactions.
  • Patient-oriented research. Studies of risk factors, etiology, detection, screening, modifying factors and therapy of GI diseases and disorders. Clinical, population and integrative, studies of the responses of the digestive system to trauma or surgery and digestive system ischemia/reperfusion injury.
