Professional background

David Graham is a consultant gastroenterologist at University College Hospital, London. He trained at St Bartholomew’s and the Royal London Medical School and completed gastroenterology training in North East London. He undertook a PhD at UCL on the early detection of oesophageal cancer through utilisation of salivary 'liquid biopsies' and artificial intelligence analysis of patient data.

He has a specialist interest in Barrett’s oesophagus, oesophago-gastric cancer, endoscopic imaging technologies and interventional endoscopy. Additionally, he was part of the expert committee devising the BSG guidelines for the management of the pre-malignant and early malignant lesions of the stomach and is part of international research collaborations aiming to improve the early detection of these lesions. Finally, David has a keen interest in endoscopy training and has helped run many live endoscopy courses at UCH.

Research interests

Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal and gastric cancer, pre-malignant lesions of the stomach (atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia), endoscopic imaging technologies, interventional endoscopic therapies, early cancer detection
