When the pleasure of eating turns into a dread of food, or when liver function deteriorates, Mayo Clinic leads the world in finding the answers.
Mayo Clinic has the largest gastroenterology practice in the United States. With 38 NIH research grants and more original gastroenterology research articles published than any institution in the world, Mayo Clinic is conducting cutting-edge research on every digestive and liver disorder from Barrett’s esophagus to ulcerative colitis.
Mayo researchers have developed new treatments for liver disease, new technology to identify and treat irritable bowel syndrome and other motility disorders, and introduced a new generation of endoscopes to perform incision-free procedures that previously required a surgery.
