PhD/MPhil Gastroenterology in Manchester United Kingdom | The University of Manchester

Our PhD/MPhil Gastroenterology program allows you to pursue a research initiative aimed at advancing knowledge in Gastroenterology, the field dedicated to digestive system disorders. Gastrointestinal and liver conditions are prevalent, significantly affecting health and quality of life throughout all stages of life. At The University of Manchester, our Gastroenterology research encompasses fundamental gut physiology, disease mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions. Our investigations range from cellular and molecular analyses, animal disease models, and human physiology to clinical trials and healthcare system studies. Current research focuses on areas such as: neurogastroenterology and the gut-brain connection, inflammatory bowel conditions, liver disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and related functional issues, clinical nutrition and intestinal dysfunction, gastrointestinal surgical procedures, Barrett's esophagus and esophageal malignancies, immune responses in the gut lining, gut microbiome research, digestive hormones, and the regulation of hunger and fullness in both healthy and diseased states.
