Research Abstract
Dr. Szabo's laboratory is concerned with the field of the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration, especially of duodenal ulcer. Most of the seminal contributions which evolved from his laboratory relate to the experimental models that he developed and mechanisms related to duodenal ulcers. For the past decade Dr. Szabo systematically investigated the underlying mechanisms involved in experimental ulcers using an array of morphological, functional, biochemical, molecular biologic and pharmacologic methods of approach. More recently, he applied his knowledge of angiogenesis, growth factors and gene expression to the field of experimental ulcers. This provided new venues to explain the mechanisms of GI ulceration and the action of drugs such as sucralfate and potential new therapeutic strategies for healing ulcers.
