The Comprehensive Pancreas Program, led by program director, Matthew DiMagno, MD, aims to provide the best possible clinical care and to achieve the best outcomes for patients with pancreatic disorders to improve their quality of life. To achieve these goals, we have committed ourselves to excellence in patient-centered clinical care, education, innovative research and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Since Dr. Marvin Pollard, the first Gastroenterology Division Chief (1947-1972), Michigan Medicine has been a leader in pancreas related patient care, research, and education. Our Comprehensive Pancreas Program has over 45 faculty members from multiple departments, many known for clinical excellence and national leadership. We are dedicated to improving the lives of our patients, advancing research, and educating the physicians of tomorrow.
Our research is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other sources of extramural funding. Our clinical research focuses on acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, pancreatic cysts and biomarkers for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Basic science areas include regulation of exocrine pancreatic secretion, mechanisms and translational therapies for pancreatitis and pain, pancreatic inflammation, and tumorigenesis.
Michigan Medicine is one of over 50 National Pancreas Foundation (NPF) Centers of Excellence in the country and the only one in the state of Michigan. To train the next generation, we anticipate offering a 1-year Pancreatology Fellowship Training Program to develop expertise in managing the spectrum of pancreatitis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis associated GI disorders, pancreatic cysts, and (pre)malignant pancreatic conditions. This fellowship program will complement an existing 1-year Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship Training Program.

We educate medical students and residents, and we anticipate offering a one-year Pancreatology Fellowship Training Program in the near future. In addition, we offer continuing medical education (CME) opportunities to community physicians as well as support groups for our patients.
We have over 1,000 annual clinic visits and a multidisciplinary clinical team of over 45 medical experts.
Our robust research infrastructure and collaborative environment supports our investigators conducting both basic and clinical research - ultimately accelerating the pace of discovery. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies support our basic and clinical research studies in acute pancreatitis, pancreatic cystic disorders, and other conditions involving the pancreas.
The Comprehensive Pancreas Program is leading the way to improve the lives of those living with pancreatic disorders. Our investigators conduct basic and clinical research in the areas of acute and chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cysts and pancreatic cancer. Your support, no matter the amount, helps us to move closer to new discoveries and to improve management and treatment options for our patients.
