Raj P. Kapur MD, PhD

Dr. Kapur’s general field of study is the pathogenesis of congenital disorders. Diagnostic pathological evaluations of individuals with this group of disorders are designed to understand their underlying etiology and clinical significance. Kapur has a special interest in congenital malformations of the enteric nervous system emphasizing subtle perturbations of neural circuitry, neurochemical coding, and molecular signaling. Through a combination of work with animal models, in vitro systems, and detailed analyses of human tissue samples, Kapur seeks to better understand the etiologies and pathologies of these conditions.
