Biography

Jeremy Adler, M.D., M.Sc. is a Clinical Professor in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Michigan and serves as the Interim Director of the Susan B.

He completed his residency in pediatrics at Boston City Hospital and Boston Medical Center in 1997. He then practiced academic general pediatrics in New York for several years before moving to Michigan to train in pediatric gastroenterology at the University of Michigan. He then earned a Master of Science in Health and Health Care Research through in the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan, and had further training in the Advanced Improvement Methods program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Dr. Adler joined the pediatric gastroenterology faculty at the University of Michigan in 2008.

Dr. Adler's clinical and research interest is in the care of children and adolescents with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease or IBD). His research focus is on improving short and long-term outcomes and health related quality of life for children with IBD. He has been working on developing evidence-based strategies for preventing disease related complications such as fistulas and pouchitis, and to mitigate disparities among children with IBD.

Dr. Adler is an NIH-funded researcher whose scientific research has been featured in the American Gastroenterology Association's headline news, on the cover of the journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, and in the Innovations in Health Care section of the Wall Street Journal. Dr. Adler is a leader in the field of pediatric IBD, and has served as consultant to the US Food and Drug Administration, and his work on prevention of disease complications and on developing methods for evaluating endoscopic findings has been used in national and international policies and guidelines on treating children and adults with IBD. Dr. Adler also serves as the Director of Research and Quality Improvement in Pediatric Gastroenterology, and as the Director of the Pediatric IBD Program at C.S.
