Stanford University Endowed Professor for Pediatric IBD and Celiac Disease

Director, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease

Dr. Michael J. Rosen is a pediatric gastroenterologist and physician scientist, who has been devoted to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research since beginning medical training over 20 years ago. He serves as the Director of the Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease. Dr. Rosen has expertise crossing mucosal immunology and epithelial biology, formal training and experience in clinical and translational investigation with human biospecimens, and direct insight regarding the important clinical challenges caring for children with complicated IBD. His translational research program focuses on how the immune system regulates epithelial function in chronic intestinal inflammation as it relates to IBD. Dr. Rosen’s clinical research program has focused on optimization of anti-TNF therapy in pediatric IBD. His research laboratory has demonstrated a protective role for IL33, a cytokine that induces type 2 cytokines from T cells an innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), in acute oxazolone colitis through preservation of epithelial goblet cells and barrier function. In line with this finding, his research has also shown in a large prospective patient cohort that mucosal expression of type 2 and type 17 immune response genes distinguishes ulcerative colitis (UC) from colon-only Crohn’s disease, and that type 2 gene expression is associated with superior clinical outcome in pediatric UC. The Rosen laboratory has now developed an organoid-immune cell in vitro culture system to demonstrate the ILC2-dependent mechanism through which IL33 induces goblet cell differentiation in the intestinal epithelium. Dr. Rosen led the multicenter study Anti-TNF for Refractory Colitis in Hospitalized Children (ARCH) Study, and he currently Co-Chairs the Crohn's & Colitis Foundations Cohort for Pediatric Translational and Clinical Research in IBD (CAPTURE IBD) and PRO-KIIDS Pediatric IBD clinical research network.

Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology 

Director, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Celiac Disease Program

Dr. Hilary Jericho is a clinical associate professor of pediatric gastroenterology and the Inaugural Medical Director of the Celiac Disease Program at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital whose clinical practice and research have an emphasis on the diagnosis and management of celiac disease. Dr. Jericho is deeply involved in both local community and national professional societies serving as the Director of the Chicagoland Children’s Health Alliance (CCHA) endoscopy committee, as well as a member of the CCHA celiac committee, the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) celiac special interest group, CeliacKids (a pediatric multi-center celiac research collaborative), the Standards-Based Active Guideline Environment, and the NASPGHAN Endoscopy committee. Dr. Jericho’s clinical work and research focus on pediatric celiac disease (CeD) and has resulted in numerous publications, peer-reviewed articles, and book chapters. This research has also helped to establish her as an expert in the field of pediatric celiac disease leading to invitations to speak and be a moderator at both local and national meetings, including the internationally attended University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center educational preceptorship programs, the NASPGHAN annual meeting and Beyond Celiac. Dr. Jericho has also been called up to provide celiac-specific journal reviews as well as expert opinions to leading publications, including US News and World Report, Reader’s Digest and Reuter’s.

Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatric Gastroenterology 

Director, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health IBD Program

Dr. Jonathan Moses is a clinical associate professor of pediatric gastroenterology and the Inaugural Medical Director of the IBD Program at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. He completed his medical education at The Ohio State University College of Medicine in 2005, followed by a residency in Pediatric Gastroenterology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio in 2008. Dr. Moses further honed his expertise through a fellowship at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic Children's Pediatric Gastroenterology Department in 2012. With his extensive training and experience, Dr. Moses is well-equipped to provide expert care and specialized treatment to young patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
