Kara G. Margolis, MD is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine specializing in Pediatric Gastroenterology. She treats children at the Fink Children's Ambulatory Care Center located at 160 East 32nd Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10016.
Her educational background includes an MD from SUNY - University at Buffalo (2001), Pediatrics residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (2004), and Pediatric Gastroenterology fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital (2007). She is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in Pediatric Gastroenterology since 2007.
Dr. Margolis's research focuses on the intersection of neuroscience and gastroenterology in pediatric patients, with particular emphasis on serotonin pathways, gut-brain axis interactions, and microbiome influences on child health. Her work explores how psychiatric medications like SSRIs affect gastrointestinal function in children and investigates novel microbiome-based therapies for nutritional disorders.
Her recent publications demonstrate expertise in serotonin research, microbiome therapies for malnutrition, and the developmental impact of prenatal SSRI exposure. These studies reveal innovative approaches to treating gastrointestinal conditions through understanding neurochemical pathways and microbial ecosystems.
As a Clinical Associate Professor, Dr. Margolis contributes to medical education at NYU Grossman School of Medicine while maintaining an active clinical practice treating pediatric patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
