Jiande Chen, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, affiliated with the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Biomedical Engineering (BME). His research focuses on neuromodulation, gastrointestinal motility disorders, and autonomic nervous system mechanisms in conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and diabetes. He explores noninvasive therapies like transcutaneous electrical stimulation and vagal nerve stimulation to address visceral pain, motility dysfunction, and metabolic disorders. His research interests include biomedical computation and modeling, imaging, and neural engineering applications in gastroenterology. Key areas of investigation involve optimizing electrical stimulation modalities for treating gastrointestinal diseases and understanding the physiological and mechanistic pathways underlying these interventions. Recent articles highlight studies on rectal sensory function assessments, closed-loop intestinal stimulation for diabetes management, and the role of autonomic nervous system responses in gastrointestinal disorders. His work bridges clinical applications and engineering innovations, with a focus on translational research to improve patient outcomes.
