UNC Center for Functional GI and Motility Disorders

Postdoctoral Training

The Center hosts postdoctoral fellows on an ongoing basis. Postdoctoral fellows typically stay for two or more years and receive mentored research training while participating in research projects with senior investigators in the Center. They may receive stipends from either of two training grants awarded through the Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology or from extramural grants.

Currently, Dr. Syed Thiwan is a Fellow in the Postdoctoral Training Program. He is in a three-year postdoctoral fellowship, for which Dr. William Whitehead serves as his research mentor and Dr. Douglas Drossman teaches him skills in interviewing and treating patients with functional GI disorders. Dr. Thiwan is also collaborating with Dr. Udi Ringel on research.
