Welcome to the GI Division

The nationally renowned Gastroenterology Division of the University of Pennsylvania provides comprehensive resources for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon), pancreas and liver. Our focus is to facilitate the development of patient care, education, and research programs in digestive and liver disease.

Clinical programs benefit from the largest group of specialists in digestive and liver disease in the greater Philadelphia region, bringing a breadth of expertise that ensures comprehensive care. Discoveries into the pathogenesis and therapy of digestive and liver diseases are facilitated by a large research base at the University and NIH Digestive Disease Research Center, funded through the National Institutes of Health.

The Raymond and Ruth Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine (below), opening 2008, will be a state-of-the-art, 360,000+ square foot outpatient facility adjacent to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. It is the future home of the HUP Gastroenterology outpatient clinics and endoscopy unit.
