Gallbladder

  Gallbladder Disease Research Vanderbilt School of Medicine’s Basic Sciences researchers study gallbladder disease by probing the fundamental biology behind gallstone formation and biliary inflammation. Work commonly integrates cell and animal models with human biospecimens. Investigators explore genetic and environmental risk factors, including diet and the gut-liver-biliary axis, and apply… Read More
