Research Interests
Andres Gottfried is a gastroenterologist and physician-scientist with a broad research background in neuroscience and immunology. He is currently applying his background in neuroimmunology and inflammation to advancing the understanding of gastroparesis and other gut motility disorders. He is a native of Mexico City, but came to the US to conduct his PhD training at the Rockefeller University. He then embarked on medical training at Weill Cornell Medical College and complete internal medicine training in New York Presbyterian Hospital. He completed Gastroenterology fellowship at Stanford University and subsequently practiced in Stanford's Neurogastroenterology group from 2019-2023. During this time he was a KL2 Scholar. His clinical and research interests are in gastroparesis immune dysregulation, with a goal to understand the neuroimmune basis of gut motility gut disorders and provide improved diagnostics and treatments to patients.
He recently moved to San Diego, and will be caring for patients in the San Diego VA Health System while pursuing his research in the Department of Pharmacology and Department of Medicine. He is very excited to start the next phase of his career at UCSD.
