Vidyasagar Lab (Radiation Gut Injury and Oral Rehydration)

What we study
The lab studies how radiation damages the intestine and develops drinks with salts and amino acids that help the gut absorb fluid and repair itself. The work led to the enterade product and continues with new formulations for radiation and inflammatory gut disease.
