        David was a Lecturer in the Department of Medicine at the new Leicester Medical School and one of the first full-time Consultants in Gastroenterology in the UK at Leicester Royal Infirmary until 1989, when he was appointed Director of Endoscopy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston. He became Director of the Endoscopy Institute, which he created, in 2006.
        After 21 years of service in Boston, he moved to New York in 2010 to become Chief of the Division of Digestive Diseases at Beth Israel Medical Center and Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and later Professor at Icahn School of Medicine, after the merger with Mount Sinai in 2013. In January 2017, he became Clinical Director of the Center for Advanced Digestive Care at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He is a Past President of the International Hepato-PancreatoBiliary Association (1994-1996) and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) (2002-2003). He was recipient of the ASGE’s highest recognition, the Rudolf V. Schindler Award, in 2007. He is currently on the Governing Council of the New York Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
        Dr Carr-Locke has an international reputation as an endoscopist and educator in therapeutic endoscopy and has pioneered many of the techniques used today for treating patients with GI and pancreatobiliary disease. He turned 70 in 2018; he continues to see patients every day and maintains a busy endoscopy schedule. He has trained over 160 gastroenterology and advanced endoscopy fellows.
        Dr Carr-Locke pursues an active clinical research interest and has published more than 300 articles, book chapters, books, and videos on many aspects of therapeutic endoscopy. He recently published groundbreaking findings on the new human interstitium, which may change the way we think about many diseases and the spread of cancer.
