Gregory Ginsberg, MD, FACG, is Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine where he is a member of the Gastroenterology Division and Executive Director of Endoscopic Services at Penn Medicine and a member of its Abramson Cancer Center. Dr. Ginsberg received his medical degree from the Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine and completed Internal Medicine Residency training at Georgetown University Medical Center. Dr. Ginsberg stayed on at Georgetown for his Gastroenterology Fellowship and fellowship in Advanced Endoscopy. Dr. Ginsberg was recruited to Penn in 1993 where his clinical practice and research focuses on the development, evaluation, and implementation of new techniques and technologies as they apply to endoluminal diagnosis and management of digestive tract and related disorders. This work was recognized with a University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Sidney Cohen Gastroenterology Teaching Award and the 2004 Luigi Mastroianni, Jr., Clinical Innovator Award of Excellence. Ongoing clinical research includes that related to Barrett's esophagus (including endoscopic mucosal resection [EMR], radiofrequency ablation [RFA], and other ablation techniques), gastrointestinal cancers (in particular EMR), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM), enteral nutritional access, endoscopic bariatric therapies, and natural orifice surgery. A large animal developmental endoscopic research capability supplements the patient oriented research program. Much of this work has been geared towards successfully applying minimally invasive approaches to digestive tract disorders as alternatives to major operative interventions. He has over 150 publications including several authoritative texts pertaining to gastrointestinal endoscopy. He is a former council member the AGA, recipient of the 2008 ASGE Distinguished Educator Award, and past-President of the ASGE (2011).
