@UWMadPharmacy@MLutzMD@YashHegde6 A note to every trainee and junior faculty member out there: dream big. You never know what you're capable of accomplishing. The people we see as successful, we only see now — not at the beginning, when it was just hard work and belief. They started right where you are.
DREAM BIG
1/ Big month. Yesterday I had the honor of being invested as the Yehle Family Professor in IBD Research at @uwsmph alongside being promoted to Professor of Medicine. A surreal night, still sinking in. A short thread on what it means. @uw_medicine @uw_GIHep
4) Study 2️⃣: "Validation of Self-Reported MMR & Varicella Vaccination in Adults with IBD Using a Statewide Immunization Registry"
Led by internal medicine resident Lazim Vattoh @LazimV. @caldera_labIBD member 🌟.
7) Study 3️⃣: "Commercial VZV Assays Miss Seropositivity in Vaccinated IBD Patients"

Vaccinated vs. naturally infected — does it matter which assay you use? 🤔

Loved having dinner last night with all our first author trainees at #DDW2026! A small but well-deserved reward for all their incredible hard work 👏Shoutout to Yash Hegde, Lazim Vattoth & Sindhu Battula. @caldera_labIBD tradition. @uw_GIHep @uw_medicine@DDWMeeting
Always nice to connect with the @uw_IMresidency family! Full circle moment at #DDW2026
Miss the advice from Gabby (my chief as a PGY2), the laughs with my co-chief Lucas in the chief office, and the fun learning sessions with the residents
Once a Badger, always a Badger 🦡
Proud of @MLutzMD presenting our TXI dysplasia detection study at #DDW2026 — texture and color enhancement imaging outperforming standard of care in IBD surveillance colonoscopy. Exciting implications for dysplasia detection in our highest-risk patients. @uw_GIHep
