During this period, fellows engage in basic, clinical, and translational scientific investigation with leading gastroenterology and hepatology experts, with close collaboration between pediatric and adult programs. This experience ensures our fellows graduate well positioned for successful academic and research careers.

During the first year of the Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship, fellows are encouraged to select a scientific area of interest and a mentor. Our mentors are faculty members dedicated to providing fellows with the support they need to develop their own interests and expertise.

Faculty research interests currently include:

Clinical, basic, and translational research examining both pediatric and adult liver disease and transplantation
Nutritional eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders

The second and third year of the fellowship is designed to allow ample protected time for research, while maintaining time for ongoing clinical activities. Fellows have consistently presented their research at annual national gastroenterology and hepatology conferences and successfully submitted research for publication.
