Decades of research have revolutionized the care of many digestive disease patients. These patients, as well as everyone in the GI field, clinicians and researchers alike, have benefited from the discoveries of dedicated investigators, past and present. As the charitable arm of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), the AGA Research Foundation contributes to this tradition of discovery to combat the continued lower quality of life and suffering brought on by digestive diseases.

“Using this award, I plan to study the cytoskeletal intermediate filament proteins that are expressed in digestive-type epithelia, allowing me to better understand the molecular basis of GI diseases. My goal is to create a career in medical research and develop more ways to make biomedical research meaningful for clinical health-care professionals, and ultimately for patients,” said Rani Richardson, the 2016 AGA Investing in the Future Student Research Fellowship Award Recipient.
