Dr. Hanauer's Biography — As a leading international clinical researcher in the field of inflammatory bowel disease, I have extensive experience in treating patients with complex IBD and in designing and executing multi-institutional trials in IBD. Beginning with the organization of an inflammatory bowel disease patient registry, I initiated studies regarding the epidemiology of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease including familial risks that culminated with the identification of genetic associations in Crohn's disease. I was instrumental in identifying the impact of cigarette smoking as a protective factor in ulcerative colitis and detrimental factor in Crohn's disease. I have led investigations defining the risk of dysplasia in ulcerative colitis and colonoscopic surveillance methodologies. I also evaluated the nature of post-operative recurrences in Crohn's disease. I have served as lead investigator in the design and implementation of clinical trials to develop novel therapies for ulcerative colitis and other conventional and biological agents as inductive and/or maintenance therapies for Crohn's disease. I have also been instrumental in drafting guidelines for the development of drug approval for the FDA and the development of national and international clinical guidelines for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and have co-chaired the recent FDA GREAT conferences on endpoints for IBD. I have extensive experience in the design, implementation and monitoring of multi-center clinical trials in IBD and was PI of multiple NIH-sponsored Multi-site Trials. I have also contributed to the recruitment of more than 50 clinical trials enrolling patients with Crohn's disease and/or ulcerative colitis. I have a long history of mentoring clinical and translational researchers and supporting clinical research.
