Sam Salimian Rizi: Carbohydrate digestion and absorption within the small intestine

<p dir="ltr">Glucose reaching the bloodstreamdepends on both enzyme kinetics andhow chyme moves.<br>• Contractions mix the chyme, carryingstarch to the enzymes and glucose tothe absorbing wall.<br>• These effects are hard to measure invivo, and static in vitro models cannotreproduce a moving wall.<br>• Aim: combine membrane experimentswith 3D simulations to predict glucoseabsorption across meals and motilitypatterns.</p>
