Funded by the NIH Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers (DDRCC) P30 grant, the C-SiG promotes interaction between basic and clinical research in gastroenterology. The integration of multidisciplinary groups is achieved through an annual symposium, a Pilot and Feasibility Grant aimed to help new investigators pursue research, and three Center Cores that facilitate the integration of state of the art technologies: a Clinical Core, Optical Microscopy Core, and Genetics and Epigenetics Core. As a new investigator, I received a Pilot and Feasibility award from the center for two consecutive years. As a Pilot and Feasibility awardee, I benefit from a rigorous peer-review process, with regular project report updates. Moreover, as a member of C-SiG, I have access to a supportive infrastructure that makes technologies, existing resources and technical expertise more easily accessible through these three linked biomedical Center Cores. In addition, I attend and present at the following forums sponsored by C-SiG: weekly GI scientific conference, Monday research conference, annual C-SiG mini-symposium, apoptosis journal club, and vesicular trafficking journal club. Key C-Sig faculty with expertise related to the proposed experiments include Gregory Gores (Mentor) and William Faubion (Mentoring
