2014 Recipient of IFFGD Grant for Research of Idiopathic Gastroparesis Leo Cheng, PhD
This episode is hosted by IFFGD’s Hayley McCorkle and features our 2014 Grant Winner Dr. Leo Cheng. Dr. Cheng is a professor and bioengineer in Auckland, New Zealand. His research focuses on using bioengineering techniques to understand what happens in your gut in certain disease states.
His research uses a variety of bioengineering and mathematical modeling approaches to help provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal motility disorders. His research interests span from basic sciences to the development of new techniques and devices that can be applied clinically.
The ultimate goal is to create a tool that doctors can use in clinical practice when treating individuals with idiopathic gastroparesis and chronic unexplained nausea and vomiting.
