NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aasma Shaukat, MD, MPH, a renowned leader in the field of gastroenterology has joined NYU Langone Health as the Director of Outcomes Research within the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. In addition to her role within the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, she will serve as Co-Director of Translational Research Education and Careers, within the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Dr. Shaukat will hold the endowed Robert M. and Mary H. Glickman Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology as well as the Professor of Population Health faculty appointments at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Prior to joining NYU Langone, Dr. Shaukat served on faculty at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where she was a professor of Medicine and Public Health and Section Chief of Gastroenterology Service at the Minneapolis V.A. Health Care System.

At NYU Langone, Dr. Shaukat will build a premier outcomes research program in all areas of gastrointestinal care, across the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Her own research will include the study of colorectal cancer risk factors, screening modalities, long-term outcomes, and quality indicators for colonoscopy. Additionally, her work will focus on ways to minimize barriers and improve screening for colorectal cancer in underserved communities, including in Brooklyn.

A highly regarded clinician, distinguished epidemiologist, and prolific researcher, Dr. Shaukat has published extensively on colorectal cancer screening, prevention, and quality indicators for colonoscopy. She has pioneered some of the foundational studies on the reduction in morbidity and mortality related to colon cancer screening and, most recently, served as first author on the newly updated "ACG Clinical Guidelines: Colorectal Cancer Screening 2021." Her research has been consistently funded by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, Department of Veterans Affairs, American College of Gastroenterology, and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

"We are thrilled to have Dr. Shaukat join our faculty, and excited to be working with her to advance our scientific knowledge and clinical understanding of colorectal cancer, and to build on our outcomes research program in the areas of gastroenterology and hepatology," says Mark B. Pochapin, MD, the Sholtz/Leeds Professor of Gastroenterology and Director of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
