David J. Morris is a Professor Emeritus of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine with significant expertise in Clinical Pathology and clinical chemistry. He is certified by the National Registry of Clinical Chemists and has a considerable background in Laboratory Automation Systems. His research focuses on adrenal steroid metabolism and the identification of endogenous GALF steroid derivatives formed by intestinal bacteria. A key area of his studies involves the Gut Microbiota Microbiome and its relationship to steroid metabolism and sodium homeostasis in hypertension-related diseases. Morris is engaged in understanding the mechanisms of action of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, particularly their effects on sodium retention and hypertension, as well as the identity of various adrenally-derived steroid metabolites that regulate cortisol and cortisone levels in target tissues. He has received multiple NIH grants and has contributed extensively to the understanding of hypertension and related metabolic disorders.
