Sameer Mathur, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine teams up with Eric Gaumnitz, MD, Associate Professor (CHS), Gastroenterology and Hepatology, to present an overview of research on and clinical management of eosinophilic esophagitis. This chronic immune condition causes buildup of eosinophils in the lining of the esophagus, resulting in tissue inflammation and damage. Dr. Mathur's research has focused on identifing mechanisms by which eosinophils can regulate epithelial responses to innate immune stimuli and viruses. Dr. Gaumnitz's clinical interests include motility disorders, reflux disease, and swallowing disorders. The title of their February 3, 2017 Grand Rounds talk is "Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Advances in an 'Evolving' Disease."
