Regular biography
David Bulmer is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Pharmacology. His research focuses on visceral pain, gastrointestinal pharmacology, sensory nerves, ion channels, and G protein coupled receptors. He investigates the mediators responsible for the activation of pain-sensing nerves in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. His work explores the mechanisms by which these mediators activate nociceptors and examines potential therapeutic targets. Bulmer's research also intersects with areas such as psychology, microbiota, and bioelectronic regulation of gut function.
Scholar-generated biography
David Bulmer is an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge specializing in visceral pain research. His work focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying visceral hypersensitivity and pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders. Bulmer's research explores the role of various receptors and signaling pathways in pain transmission, including TRPV1, 5-HT2B, and P2Y receptors. His studies also investigate the impact of inflammatory mediators and neurotransmitters such as histamine, adenosine, and glutamate on visceral nociception. By examining both animal models and human tissue, Bulmer contributes to the development of therapeutic strategies for conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease.
