Dr. Subhash Kulkarni is an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His research focuses on the origin and development of the enteric nervous system.
Dr. Kulkarni received his B.S. from the University of Pune in India. He earned his M.S. from the University of Delhi and his Ph.D. from the Universite de Lausanne Faculte de Medecine in Switzerland. He completed post-doctoral research in structural biology and gastroenterology at Stanford University.
Dr. Kulkarni conducts research that explores the origin and development of the enteric nervous system. He seeks to better understand the pathways that can be manipulated to create cell and matrix-based transplantational and regenerative therapies of enteric neuronal disorders.
