Webinar: Inherited Gene Mutations and the link to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Amitabh Chak, MD, MS, MASGE, is Professor of Medicine and Oncology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and is the Brenda and Marshall B. Brown Master Clinician in Innovation and Discovery at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UHCMC).

His research interests include the genetics of Barrett’s esophagus and its translational applications, endoscopic management of pancreaticobiliary disease, and clinical applications of EUS.

Kishore Guda, DVM, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Case Western Reserve University. Guda’s translational oncology team focuses on elucidating the molecular determinants of aggressive gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies aiming to impact clinical practice by developing evidence-based biomarkers and targeted therapies.

In this webinar, Dr. Chak and Dr. Guda discuss their research into the role of an inherited mutation of the gene Caveolin-3 (CAV3) and others in the development of Barrett’s Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.
