Personal Statement

Currently, I am professor of medicine, director of translational medicine, co-director of the Mucosal Immunology Repository for Inflammatory and Digestive Diseases biobank, director of Precision Health for Cedars-Sinai and the Joshua L. and Lisa Z. Greer Chair in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics at Cedars-Sinai. I joined Cedars-Sinai in 2007 after completing my clinical training and my doctorate at the University of Oxford, UK."


Dermot P. McGovern, MD, PhD

The McGovern Laboratory, or Translational Genomics Group (TGG), is involved in studies to identify additional susceptibility genes in European populations as well as to identify genes associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in the Puerto Rican, Asian, Ashkenazi Jewish and African American populations. The identification of these genes leads to a greater understanding of the underlying processes and causes that lead to IBD.
