Bo Shen The Edelman-Jarislowsky Professor of Surgical Sciences , Professor of Medicine and Surgical Sciences (in Surgery), Director of Interventional Inflammatory Bowel Disease , Vice Chair of Innovation in Medicine & Surgery , Herbert Irving Pavilion, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Department of Surgery. Dr. Shen is the head and medical director of the IBD Center at Columbia. He is also the Vice Chair for Innovation in Medicine and Surgery and a Professor of Medicine (in Surgery). He is one of the world's pre-eminent leaders in interventional inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to his specialized expertise in treating a wide range of pouch-related disorders. In addition to pouchitis and pouch diseases, Dr. Shen specializes in IBD, GI endoscopy (including endoscopic pouch procedures), and imaging technology. Dr. Shen is known as a pioneer in interventional treatment for IBD - this includes postponing or eliminating the need for surgery in some cases.
