Biography

Professor Peter Gibson is a researcher in the Department of Gastroenterology at Monash University. His research primarily focuses on chronic gastrointestinal conditions, particularly Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). He conducts various clinical IBD research projects that investigate treatment aspects. His studies optimize the use of thiopurine immunomodulators, with projects addressing metabolite monitoring and the combination use of allopurinol in patients. Gibson's work in anti-TNF therapies includes clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of adhesion-molecule blocking antibodies and chemokine-receptor small molecules for patients with refractory Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Another area of research involves the exploration of mesenchymal stem cells in patients resistant to biological therapies. His recent investigations also delve into the basic mechanisms of IBD, focusing on vitamin D and the renin-angiotensin system. Moreover, his work on functional gastrointestinal disorders looks into the Low FODMAP diet's efficacy and the impacts of nutriceuticals on IBS. Additionally, Gibson researches new treatment strategies for coeliac disease and its cognitive effects, as well as eosinophilic oesophagitis. His contributions align with several global health goals related to digestive health and nutrition.
