Proud to close out the last Poster Session of #DDW2026 with an abundance of engaging research and many blue ribbon ‘Posters of Distinction.’

[Mount Sinai Division of Gastroenterology @MountSinaiGI]

You had to be there! Last day of #DDW kicked off with a well attended talk by @bruce_sands1, MD presenting research from the DUET-CD study which highlights the potential of dual-target therapy to improve long-term outcomes in Crohn’s disease, even in treatment-resistant patients.

Lionel D’Souza, MD walks us through how techniques like #ESD , proximal gastrectomy with functional reconstruction, and sentinel node navigation aim to preserve function, reduce morbidity, and maintain outcomes.

Day 3 of #DDW continues with fun, friends, and more fascinating research from our division! Stay tuned for more from today’s sessions.

As monotherapy reaches its limits, the field must identify safe, effective combinations of advanced therapies in #IBD. @bruce_sands1, MD discusses key considerations for designing trials that can move research toward more meaningful, outcome-driven progress.

@DDWMeeting Day 2! Laurie Keefer, PhD’s presentation invited us to consider how chronic pain impacts our patients’ quality life in ways most may not realize. She emphasizes the value of putting function in the center of conversations with patients about their pain management.

DAY 1 of #DDW2026! Marla Dubinsky, MD presents on the importance of early, effective combination therapy at diagnosis of IBD for achieving optimal health outcomes. Special shoutout to @ryanungaro, MD’s research on proteomics to support her talk. Stay tuned for more!

I had a blast on Chief’s Rounds with @MarkPochapin and @AasmaShaukatMD talking #ColorectalCancerAwareness 💙
The message is simple:
Know your family history. Talk to your doctor about screening. Screening starts at 45, earlier for higher-risk patients. 🩺 #CRCsm @MountSinaiGI

No matter your genetic history, doctors recommend EVERYONE 45 and older get screened. Thanks for reminding us, @katiecouric.
