My favorite talk from #DDW2023 Day 1. Very cool intersect of genetic insights, immunology, and therapeutic potential

First up today @ #DDW2023 the most important meeting of whole week. Critical effort of NIDDK IBD Genetics consortium IBD Genetics Consortium to consolidate & improve our efforts in recruiting & studying diverse populations. So important to bring benefits of genome medicine to everyone. #Equity

Fascinating to hear a surgeon’s Stefan Holubar MD MS perspective on perianal fistula management coming from the basic science side. Very excited to see translational potential for our work to hopefully inform approaches to fistula closure in patients #DDW2023

Ending #DDW2023 on a high note enjoying a lovely dinner with Judy Cho and the best clinical research coordinator in the game (and my friend) Colleen Chasteau IBD Genetics Consortium Mount Sinai Division of Gastroenterology . We had a great few days!

⁦Jean-Frederic Colombel⁩ #DDW2023 Upadicitinib effective at healing anal fissures and anal fistula in Crohns ds. More data needed but another “tool” for treating anal Crohn’s disease.

#Fissures and #fistulas are associated with significant morbidity and decreased quality of life for patients with #Crohnsdisease. Jean-Frederic Colombel, MD, presents research that shows treatment with a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug can provide a safe an effective option for

Happy vyshyvanka day! 🌻🇺🇦🌻

ICYMI: Jean-Frederic Colombel unites diverse perspectives in #IBD at Mount Sinai's #IBDRetreat. We value every opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with our colleagues & address complex challenges in #GI. Thanks to all who participated & attended yesterday's event.

1st pt of MS3 was a cholecystectomy - a simulation laparoscopic gallstone removal Museum of Science sparked my interest in medicine in 2006 My last patient of MS3 today was a young adult with a suspected dx of Crohn's - perfect full circle ending. I really, really loved this year

nothing compares to having my fave band sign my dissertation acknowledgments when their music has been at the core of my journey through training since 2017 idk if I can keep this up in residency but ily The Maine see ya when I’m looking at ya (as Dr. Dr. Lev eek)

Come say hi at poster Mo1327, from 12:30-1:30 pacific! I’ll be talking about screening gaps for Barrett’s esophagus in WTC first responders, or if you’d like, the virtues of conference travel with fabric posters 🙂‍↕️#DDW2025 #BeGutsy Digestive Disease Week Mount Sinai Division of Gastroenterology
