Dr. Matthew Stachler

Dr. Stachler is a gastrointestinal and molecular Pathologist who runs a research laboratory at the University of California San Francisco.听听

His laboratory focuses on understanding what factors influence pre-malignant lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract to progress to invasive cancer with a special interest in Barrett鈥檚 esophagus.听听

Specifically, we utilize human tissue samples to identify key differences, both intrinsic to the epithelium and extrinsic cells/factors, in patients who progress to cancer compared to those with stable, benign disease. We then utilize both in vitro and in vivo model systems to functionally interrogate those factors.听
