Research Abstract
Gastrointestinal motor activities in health and disease is the major research interest of Dr. Meshkinpour. He is investigating how movements of gastrointestinal wall may affect normal bowel function and how these movements are influenced by different disease processes. In particular, he is concerned with the application of these findings to understand the irritable bowel syndrome and swallowing difficulties, the two most common gastrointestinal motor disorders.
