Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease

Clinical research in gastroenterology focuses on symptom control, intestinal inflammation, and treatment of refractory bowel lesions, with interest in both medical and local regenerative approaches.

  • abdominal pain
  • intestinal strictures
  • perianal disease
  • mesenchymal stem cells

Work in this area also includes mechanisms of pain relief and recovery of bowel function in patients with chronic inflammatory disease.

Research spans hematology, oncology, and immune protection in patients with blood cancers and transplant recipients, with attention to vaccination responses and conditioning strategies.

  • acute myeloid leukemia
  • multiple myeloma
  • non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Studies also address influenza and RSV vaccination in immunocompromised populations, including immune response profiling in transplant settings.

Disorders of consciousness and severe brain injury

Clinical activity includes neurology and neurorehabilitation research in patients with impaired consciousness after coma or major brain injury, alongside studies of paradoxical drug responses in related populations.

  • ketamine
  • zolpidem
  • apomorphine
  • severe brain injury

Additional interests include patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures and individuals with acquired visual impairment.

Perioperative pain and anesthesia

Work in anesthesiology and perioperative medicine centers on postoperative analgesia, regional blocks, and pain outcomes after orthopedic, spinal, and cranial surgery.

  • total hip arthroplasty
  • lumbar arthrodesis
  • craniotomy
  • spinal anesthesia

These studies also examine intraoperative hemodynamic responses and strategies to reduce opioid consumption after surgery.

Rare immune disorders and maternal-fetal medicine

Additional research covers primary immunodeficiency with autoimmunity and infection susceptibility, as well as obstetric care in women at risk of hypertensive pregnancy complications.

  • LRBA deficiency
  • herpes zoster prevention
  • preeclampsia
  • frozen embryo transfer

There is also interest in preventive strategies in older adults and in patients with complex immune dysfunction.
