        Dr Triadafilopoulos’ clinical practice is at El Camino hospital in Mountain View, California, where he serves as a consultant gastroenterologist. He interacts with other services in his role as moderator of the weekly Digestive Diseases Clinical Conference and in his capacity as the Executive Director of the Stanford Esophageal Multidisciplinary Program in Innovative Research Excellence (SEMPIRE). He contributes directly to outreach activities through educational lectures and courses on esophageal disease. In his capacity as executive director of SEMPIRE, he is involved in clinical and translational research in esophageal diseases (with emphasis in GERD and Barrett’s esophagus), motility disorders, and new devices in gastroenterology. After the creation of a comprehensive multidisciplinary clinical center, SEMPIRE aims to foster translational and applied (clinical and endoscopic) research, incorporating molecular understanding of disease, molecular imaging, and examination of technologies that interrogate mucosal, submucosal, and motility alterations in esophageal diseases.
        Dr Triadafilopoulos frequently lectures in formal classrooms and continuing education seminars at Stanford, at other institutions, and at national and international meetings. He is nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in esophageal diseases and has served as President of the World Organization for Specialized Studies on Diseases of the Esophagus, as Editor-in-Chief of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and on various committees of the American Gastroenterological Association, the American College of Gastroenterology, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
