Summary
- Kara Margolis is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Molecular Pathobiology and Cell biology at New York University, the NYU College of Dentistry and the NYU Grossman School of Medicine where she was recently recruited to become the Associate Director for an inaugural NYU-wide Pain Research Center.
Dr. Margolis completed a pediatrics residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a pediatric gastroenterology fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Prior to joining NYU, she held a tenured position as an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Columbia University.
Dr. Margolis is a pediatric gastroenterologist and physician-scientist with recognized clinical and scientific expertise in disorders that affect the gut and the brain, including disorders of gut brain interactions (DGBI) and well as gastrointestinal problems in children with autism spectrum disorders.
In the laboratory, Dr. Margolis leads clinical, translational and basic science research programs whose themes center around gut serotonin signaling mechanisms in gut-brain axis conditions. Her current major focuses are on the role on gut serotonin in mood dysfunction and related abdominal pain disorders, the effects of in utero medication exposures on the development of DGBIs and the gastrointestinal and behavioral outcomes in children with Autism after nutritional interventions.
Kara's work has been published in journals including Gastroenterology, Gut, JCI, PNAS, Cell and Cell Stem Cell. Her work is currently funded by the NIH and the Department of Defense as several foundations and pharmaceutical companies.
