Biography

Dr. Julie Eva Stevens holds a PhD in Medicine from the University of Adelaide. She is an Adjunct Lecturer with both the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide. She is a registered pharmacist with over ten years’ pharmacy and clinical research experience across hospital, community, research and academic settings. She combined a teaching/research academic career with active clinical research investigating normal and disordered gastrointestinal motility in health and diabetes, with a focus on oral drug absorption and glycaemic control. Her research includes investigations of pharmacological and nutritional interventions on gastric emptying rate, antropyloroduodenal motility and glycaemia in humans, particularly in patients with diabetic gastroparesis. Her research incorporates a diverse range of medical imaging methods, including scintigraphy, ultrasonography and manometry, in the measurement of gastrointestinal motility. Other areas of research include pharmacokinetic studies of orally administered agents and their potential use as alternative measures of gastric emptying rate. More recently, her research has focussed on the incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) and the mechanisms by which incretin-based therapies (GLP-1 agonists and dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors) improve glycaemic control in diabetes mellitus.
