Biography
Dr. Blikslager received his DVM from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989, and his PhD in Gastrointestinal Physiology from NC State University in 1997. He is a former head of the Department of Clinical Sciences at the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Blikslager has received numerous honors including the Applied Equine Research Award from the World Equestrian Veterinary Association, the Pfizer Award for Excellence in Research from the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine, and was inducted as a Fellow of the American Gastroenterological Association.
Research Interest
Gastrointestinal Physiology, studying mechanisms responsible for maintenance and restoration of the intestinal barrier, with the ultimate objective of pharmacologically restoring the mucosal barrier in patients suffering from diseases associated with increased intestinal permeability. Restoring the intestinal barrier would be of particular significance in patients suffering from diseases such as intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammatory bowel diseases, and gastric ulcer disease because of the potential medical complications associated with these diseases.
