Collaboration between researchers in the laboratory and physicians in the hospitals and clinics has enhanced the Center’s core programs in:
  • Dysphagia (swallowing disorders)
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and colitis)
  • Pancreaticobiliary diseases (conditions affecting the pancreas and bile ducts)
  • Hepatology (conditions affecting the liver) and liver transplantation
  • Functional bowel disorders
  • Gastrointestinal cancer surveillance and treatment

Many advances – from groundbreaking diagnostic techniques to drug trials and surgical treatments – have been possible because of the dedication and commitment to excellence by the faculty who are at the heart of the Center.
