The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology is committed to discovering novel therapies for gastroenterology and liver diseases.
The primary research goal of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology is to create scientific discoveries relevant to gastrointestinal and liver diseases and translate those discoveries into clinical practice. The division supports and maintains fundamental, laboratory-based research programs as well as clinical research programs focused on pathophysiology, epidemiology, innovative diagnostic tools and the conduct of clinical trials. The division supports robust career development opportunities for its investigators to ensure future success of its mission of providing the best care to every patient, every day.
In 2020, nearly half of the division's $66 million in research funding came from the National Institutes of Health. Industry partners, nonprofit foundations and Mayo Clinic — as well as generous gifts from our benefactors, patients and families — all support the research mission. In 2020, the division initiated 206 new clinical trials and published 582 articles, editorials and reviews.
Research topics span the breadth of gastroenterology and hepatology and include the study of novel treatments for liver and pancreatic diseases, investigation of new technologies used in the identification and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as irritable bowel syndrome and other motility disorders, developing and evaluating cutting-edge endoscopic technology and procedures, and much more.
