2008 IFFGD Research Award Recipient Yvette Taché, PhD
This episode is hosted by IFFGD’s Hayley McCorkle and features our 2008 Research Award Winner Dr. Yvette Taché. Dr. Tache works at UCLA in Digestive Disease Division and runs Taché Laboratory.
Dr. Taché’s early publications put the “brain-gut axis” on the map. Her recent research looks at the brain pathways involved in stress-related alterations of gut function and pain.
Her identification of the role of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling pathways in stress-related alterations of gut motor function and visceral pain are of major and lasting importance.
