Gregory J. Gores, M.D., is past Chair of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with primary focus in hepatobiliary malignancies, liver transplantation and mechanisms of liver cell injury. He is currently the Executive Dean for Research at Mayo Clinic — leading all of Mayo's research activities. His clinical and research contributions include advances in the understanding of hepatobiliary malignancies, liver transplantation and mechanisms of liver cell injury.

Dr. Gores is fascinated by the science of liver injury and liver cancer. He helps patients understand the context of their disease and treatment options, partnering with them to improve outcomes, especially in the context of hepatocellular cancers and liver transplantation.

In addition to his clinical activities, Dr. Gores is focused on mechanisms of liver cell death, especially apoptosis. He employs disease-relevant models to unravel the fundamental cellular processes contributing to liver injury during cholestasis and fatty liver diseases. His research also studies the mechanisms by which cancer cells escape from cell death in order to undergo malignant transformation and metastases.

Dr. Gores is a member of the American Association for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physician. He is past president of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Liver Cancer Association. He has also served on committees for the American Gastroenterological Association and the American Society of Transplantation, and he has chaired the Hepatobiliary Pathobiology NIH Study Section.

He is current the editor in chief for Hepatology, the leading journal in liver diseases. He has published over 700 articles, editorials and book chapters in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Gores has mentored over 80 postdoctoral research and clinical fellows and presented at many national and international academic institutions.

Dr. Gores is the recipient of the Research Career Achievement Award at Mayo Clinic and the Distinguished Mayo Investigator Award, in addition to being listed for several years as a Best Doctor in America. He is further recognized with the distinction of a named professorship, the Reuben R. Eisenberg Professorship.
