Short Bio:
Dr. J. Bart Rose joined the faculty of the UAB Department of Surgery Division of Surgical Oncology in 2017 as an Assistant Professor. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Surgical Oncology in the Department of Surgery, a hepatopancreatobiliary surgeon, Director of the UAB Pancreatobiliary Disease Center, and Leader of our Pancreas Cancer Service Line. His research is focused on identifying biomarkers and mechanisms of cancer development in the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts. His previous work demonstrated the novel uses of established biomarkers in pancreatic cancer, was the first to report on the clinical utility of a bile-based biomarker in patients with bile duct cancer. Rose conducts clinical research on pancreatic cancer outcomes and surgical interventions. His basic/translational science research programs include: (i) understanding new ways to treat neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas and GI tract by exploring the BORIS and Notch pathways, (ii) investigating calreticulin as a theragnostic target in pancreatic, colorectal, and breast cancers, and (iii) identifying molecular drivers of racial disparities in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Dr. Rose was the first to show differential expression of MEN1 in Black patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
