Basic and translational gastrointestinal research
The Hamilton laboratory studies epithelial cells in the intestine and colon and the roles they play in maintaining human health. Epithelial cells line the gastrointestinal tract and form a barrier between the external environment and the rest of the body. While we understand a great deal about the function of gastrointestinal epithelial cells, there is still much to learn about how they behave during stress or disease states. Our work will identify new mechanisms directly relevant to regenerative medicine, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancer.
