Sabine Roman is Associate Professor of Physiology in Lyon I University (Lyon Est Medical School) and Hospices Civils de Lyon (Department of Digestive Physiology) since 2007. She completed her training in Gastroenterology in Lyon University Hospital in 2000 and obtained a PhD in Physiology in 2007. She was Visiting Scholar at Northwestern University, Chicago (USA).
Her main research interest is focused on clinical application of esophageal functional testing including high resolution manometry and pH-impedance monitoring. She is evaluating the yield of new technologies in the diagnosis of esophageal functional disorders. She is developing an original project on the measurement of esophageal distensibility using elastography approach.
Sabine Roman is the representative of the European Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (ESNM) in the scientific committee of the United European Gastroenterology (UEG).
She is a member of the Executive Council of the French Group of Neurogastroenterology (GFNG).
She is associate editor of theDiseases of the Esophagus.
She received the PEDR from Lyon I University (2014-18).
