Intestinal Biology

by Dr. Daniel Zeve

Dr. Zeve's current research focuses on intestinal stem cell differentiation. Using the human intestinal organoid model, Dr. Zeve uses intestinal stem cells from multiple physiological and disease states, including aging, cystic fibrosis, obesity, and diabetes, to see how physiology and pathology can alter stem cell function. With this, Dr. Zeve is also the co-director of the Harvard Digestive Disease Center Human and Mouse Organoid Core. Finally, Dr. Zeve also spends time as a co-medical director at the Barton Center for Diabetes Education, helping to organize and run a summer camp for children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
