Bidyut K. Medda

Bidyut K. Medda is an Associate Professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, affiliated with the Department of Medicine's Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. He holds a PhD from the University of Calcutta (1988). His research focuses on esophageal biomechanics, visceral pain mechanisms, and gastrointestinal reflexes, with particular emphasis on inflammation-driven pain pathways and neurophysiological responses. He has contributed over a dozen peer-reviewed publications since 2017, exploring topics like opioid analgesia, esophageal motility, and bladder pain models.

Key research areas include:

• Esophageal peristalsis and wall tension dynamics
• Neuroinflammatory mechanisms in chronic pain
• Spinal and vagal pathway interactions in acid reflux
• Biomechanical factors influencing swallowing
• MicroRNA-regulated pain pathways
• Pharmacological interventions for visceral pain

Recent work (2023-2025) emphasizes translational research bridging basic science and clinical pain management. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though his publications suggest sustained research impact.
