Description of Research Expertise
My research is focused on the gut-liver axis, with projects that span the spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical research. These include investigations on the effects of the gut microbiota on hepatic drug and xenobiotic metabolism, gut microbial signatures in chronic liver diseases, and mixed meal tolerance testing in cirrhosis.Selected Publications
