Arthur Beyder MD

Dr. Arthur Beyder is a physician specializing in gastroenterology (and hepatology), with subspecialty certification in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and Internal Medicine. In addition to his clinical activities, Dr. Beyder is active in research and education, providing mentorship to residents and subspecialty fellows. Dr. Beyder is a highly sought-after speaker and has spoken on topics related to Gastrointestinal Mechanosensation in venues across the country and abroad.

Dr. Beyder studies mechanosensitive ion channels, which function as molecular switches that convert forces into cellular signals and are common drug targets. He places particular emphasis on ion channels that respond to mechanical forces in a variety of cell types. Dr. Beyder's team uses a wide range of powerful experimental approaches, from recording electrical signals in living cells to visualizing how tissues respond to force in real time.

Dr. Beyder's laboratory is part of the internationally recognized Enteric Neuroscience Program (ENSP) group at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Beyder's lab collaborates widely with members of the ENSP group and with several Mayo labs, including those focused on cardiology, anesthesia, and pulmonary medicine. They also collaborate widely with national and international colleagues.

The goal of Dr. Beyder's work is to transform how disorders of gut‑brain interaction are understood, diagnosed, and treated. By uncovering the fundamental mechanisms that govern how the gut senses and responds to physical forces, his laboratory aims to enable more precise mechanism‑based diagnoses and targeted therapies. Dr. Beyder's work has been recognized with multiple national awards for research excellence and innovation in gastroenterology and mechanobiology.
