Michael Parrish

Michael Parrish serves as an Associate Clinical Professor within the Department of Anesthesia at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, McMaster University. His academic profile is maintained in the McMaster Experts system, with contact details including phone extension 75171 and email parrim@mcmaster.ca.

Dr. Parrish's research focuses on gastrointestinal pharmacology and neurophysiology, specializing in tachykinin and NK1 receptor mechanisms in canine ileum tissue. His work examines contractile responses, prostaglandin release pathways, and neurotransmitter interactions relevant to gastrointestinal motility disorders and neurogastroenterology.

His scholarly output centers on two pivotal 1994-1995 publications analyzing receptor-mediated responses in gastrointestinal tissue. These studies established foundational insights into eicosanoid signaling and smooth muscle pharmacology, though McMaster Experts records zero publications in the last decade indicating a shift from active research.
