DrHuizinga's research focus is to understand control mechanisms of gastrointestinal motility in health and disease.His laboratory has achieved excellence in understanding the role of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) as pacemaker cells controlling gut motility.Web of Science lists 264 publications with an h index of 47, with publications in Nature, Nature Medicine and Nature Communications.The three major goals of the Huizinga laboratory are to understand the mechanistic relationships between motor patterns, motor functions and the activities of ICC and the enteric nervous system; to provide guidelines for the study of colonic motility in patients using high-resolution manometry and to unravel the pathophysiology of idiopathic chronic constipation and intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
