Quan Nhu, MD, PhD - Scripps Research

Research Focus

Quan M. Nhu, MD, PhD is an adult gastroenterologist at Scripps Clinic and an Assistant Professor of Molecular Medicine at Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla, CA. Dr. Nhu has strong clinical and research interests in inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, specifically eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. His clinical interests also include other eosinophilic GI disorders (EGID’s) such as eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis and eosinophilic colitis, microscopic colitis including lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis, celiac disease and colon cancer prevention. While at University of California, San Diego, Dr. Nhu’s research focused on understanding the mechanisms of inflammation and tissue remodeling and fibrosis in EoE. The Nhu laboratory at TSRI currently focuses on developing novel, clinically relevant therapeutic agents for EoE and beyond.
