Basic and applied renal and gastrointestinal physiology and pathophysiology

Abstract

In my statement below, the number and scope of the publications chosen are intended to represent the different elements of my research work and studies over the years; they are highlighted in yellow by Curriculum Vitae (CV) order number in the following text that outlines the main topics of investigation and tries to summarise my published work and place it in a wider context. To lend further support to my scientific contributions and publication record, I have also referred, to and referenced, other relevant publications as additional examples, and as they are listed by order number in my accompanying CV (as CV# in parentheses) for crossreference. The papers cited and included in the listed (at the end and included in my submission in pdf format) and representative 27 publications are all conjoint work to which I have made a significant contribution in deciding the topic for study, in the experimental planning and execution, in writing up the findings for publication, and in providing financial support. I have never insisted on any specific author order for myself, considering it a team effort, and I have always given due recognition to the lead author, a research student, postdoctoral fellow or senior collaborator, without whom the work could not have been completed.
