Personal Statement
My investigative interests have been in the field of intestinal malabsorption, pancreatic disorders, inflammatory bowel disease and hepatitis C. However, I consider my major expertise to be in translating important advances in gastroenterology to materials that can be used by clinicians. In this regard, I edited the Gastroenterology Section of the YearBook of Medicine for almost 30 years and was founding Editor of the YearBook of Digestive Diseases. I hope to bring to the Board some fresh approaches to difficult clinical problems, and I hope that such information proves valuable to practicing physicians.
