Maura Corsetti, MD PhD

Maura Corsetti graduated in Medicine and obtained her Specialisation (2000) and PhD (2004) at the University of Milan, Italy.
During her PhD, she worked for two years (2001- 2002) as a research fellow at the Gastrointestinal Motility and Sensitivity Research Group of the Translational Research Centre for Gastrointestinal Disorders (TARGID) at the University of Leuven, Belgium, acquiring expertise in the study of gastrointestinal motility and sensitivity in functional bowel disorders.
For eight years (2004-2012), she was a clinical reference consultant for functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders at the San Raffaele University Hospital in Milan. This was a clinical assignment with no specific time frame for research.

For this reason, she decided to return to TARGID in 2012 where she worked for four years as Senior Research Supervisor in charge of the development of high-resolution colonic manometry. She is one of two world experts in this technique.

In April 2016 Maura was appointed Associate Professor of Gastroenterology at the University of Nottingham where she leads the Functional Gastroenterology Clinic, the Gastrointestinal Motility Unit and has 5 PAs dedicated to academic work.

Maura is an internationally recognised expert in functional gastrointestinal disorders and, in particular, the study of gastrointestinal motility, as evidenced by her role as Editor-in-Chief of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, the official journal of the European (ESNM) and American Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, as secretary of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) Neurogastroenterology and Motility Committee and as a member of the BSG Food and Function Committees, as ESNM representative to the United European Gastroenterology Scientific Committee, as co-chair of the UEG postgraduate course and co- chair of the Bowel Disorders Committee of the Roma V Foundation.
