James Bayrer, MD/PhD

As a physician-scientist I am well-positioned to study the basic principles underlying human disease. My training in pharmacology and structural biology uniquely shapes my approach to basic scientific questions through an understanding of protein network interactions and emphasizes the importance of clinical translatability. My clinical training in gastroenterology enables my bench-to-bedside focus on intestinal disorders, concentrating on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a model of intestinal disease.
