پژوهشگر ارشد
Ramsah Cheah serves as a Research Fellow at the School of Medicine, University of Leeds, within the Faculty of Medicine and Health. She joined the university in November 2016 as a Research Technician before advancing to her current role in Gastrointestinal Disorders research in 2017, working under Professor Houghton's leadership. Her educational background includes a PhD in Medical Science from the University of Hull (2017), where her dissertation focused on microfluidic cancer models, and a BSc in Biomedical Science. This foundation supports her current clinical research methodology. Dr. Cheah specializes in gastrointestinal physiology diagnostics, with core expertise in high-resolution oesophageal manometry/impedance (HRM/HRIM), rectal sensitivity barostat assessment, and 24-hour pH/impedance reflux monitoring. Her research bridges clinical gastroenterology and mechanistic pathophysiology through three major projects: (1) Defining persistent bowel symptoms and mechanisms post- Clostridium difficile infection; (2) Investigating impaired pharyngo-esophageal motility in respiratory disease/GERD; (3) Evaluating ondansetron's effects on rectal sensitivity in IBS-diarrhoea patients via the TRITON trial. This work emphasizes translational approaches to functional GI disorders. While her sole documented publication (2017) originates from her oncology-focused PhD, her current research demonstrates a complete pivot toward gastrointestinal disorders. The absence of recent publications in her profile suggests active data collection and manuscript preparation for her ongoing clinical projects, particularly in post-infectious IBS and motility-reflux interactions. Scientific awards: No honors, fellowships, or medals are documented in the provided profile. As a Research Fellow, Dr. Cheah executes project protocols rather than primary supervision. Her role involves technical execution of motility studies and patient assessments within Professor Houghton's team, with no formal graduate students listed. Funding appears institutionally supported through the Leeds Institute of Medical Research, though specific grant mechanisms aren't detailed. She operates within the Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St James's, contributing to the Gastrointestinal Disorders research group. This environment integrates clinical teams, laboratory technicians, and data analysts for comprehensive GI pathophysiology studies, with particular emphasis on manometry diagnostics and post-infectious syndromes.
