Research interests
Development of animal models for patients with a compromised digestive function.
In a more basic science aspect I am particular interested in the enteroendocrine system, the localization of the individual populations of enteroendocrine cells and their paracrine effects. My main focus is on L-cells and particularly the role of Glucagon-like peptide 2 for intestinal growth in the neonatal gut.

Research Experiences and applied analysis
Working with preterm piglets as an animal model of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants
Development of an animal model of neonatal short bowel syndrome using the preterm pig.
Development of stereological methods for intestinal histology
Immunohistochemistry
Enzymatic and absorptive gut function
