Expertise:
Gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreaticobiliary pathology. Subspecialty areas include: Barrett's esophagus, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, colon cancer, liver transplantation.

Research Interests:
My interests lie in the study of clinically relevant gastrointestinal pathology, including that related to inflammatory bowel disease, Barrett's esophagus, gluten sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease), and refractory sprue.

Past projects have been aimed at improving our ability to distinguish ulcerative colitis from Crohn's disease, agreement among pathologists in grading dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and ulcerative colitis, and rectal sparing in ulcerative colitis.

Current projects include creating and implementing courses for pathologists and clincians on state of the art clinicopathologic correlation in GI and liver pathology, the role of stains such as D2-40 in evaluating lymphatic invasion in early colon cancer, and incidence of pancreatic intra-epithelial neoplasia in serous microcystic adenoma of the pancreas.
