Emad El-Omar MD, is an expert in genetics and the risk and management of gastrointestinal cancers. His work has led to the understanding that inflammation in the stomach caused by Helicobacter pylori infection - the bacterial infection implicated in GI ulcers and also considered the primary risk factor in gastric cancer - is excessive in people with specific IL-1 genetic variations. The excess inflammation appears to lead to decreased stomach acid and atrophy of the gastric mucosa (tissue lining the stomach), leading to cancerous changes. Dr. El-Omar is Professor and Chair of Gastroenterology and leader of the Biology of Cancer Theme within the Institute of Medical Sciences, Aberdeen University, Scotland. He was previously at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland. In 2000, Professor El-Omar published a landmark paper (Nature 2000 404:398-402) describing the role of interleukin-1 genetic variations in gastric cancer. Since that time, investigators have confirmed his findings in over 20 studies. His current research focuses primarily on the role of inflammation in GI cancers.
