As part of the complex care required by these patients, he utilizes a multidisciplinary approach that sometimes involves rheumatologists, pathologists, dermatologists radiologists, ophthalmologist, and surgeons. Through his clinical trial work, he also provided access to advanced treatments that are being tested in the treatment of these disorders.Professional BackgroundDr. Lawrence Saubermann is a Gastroenterologist at Strong Memorial Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine.

He has a number of projects related to inflammatory bowel disease, including clinical research trials with new biologic agents, testing for novel serologic markers of disease activity, and examining the effects of environmental toxins on the mucosal immune system. He is collaborating with other clinical and basic science researchers throughout the university to better understand the mechanisms behind the disease and develop new therapies. In addition, he participates as a co-investigator on a longitudinal countywide database study of inflammatory bowel disease subjects.CredentialsEducation1991MD | UT Southwestern Medical Center (Allied Health)Post-doctoral Training & Residency07/01/1994 - 09/30/1998Fellowship in Gastroenterology at Brigham & Womens Hospital07/01/1992 - 06/30/1994Residency in Internal Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital GME07/01/1991 - 06/30/1992Internship in Internal Medicine at Rhode Island Hospital GMEVIEW ALL expand_moreAwards2010CCFA Executive Board and CMACLocation: Rochester Chapter2009Fellowship in American College of Gastroenterology2008Chair of Education, Appointed MemberSponsor: CCFA Medical Advisory CommitteeLocation: Rochester, NY2003Senior Research Award Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America Senior Research Award2002Appointed Institutional Review Board Committee Member (Panel Purple, Active)2002Appointed Member of New England CCFA Medical Advisory Committee (Active)2002Broad Medical Research Program Award Broad Foundation2001Appointed Institutional Review Board Committee Member (Panel Green, Active)1998Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (K08) National Institutes of Health1998Physician Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Award Howard Hughes Medical Institute1998Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award K08Sponsor: National Institute of Health1997Astra-Merck Advanced Research Training Award American Digestive Health Foundation1987cum laude Brandeis UniversityVIEW ALL expand_morePublicationsJournal Articles12/1/2021"P047?The Crohn's Disease-Health Index (CD-HI): Development and Validation of a Novel, Disease-Specific Patient Reported Outcome Measure for Clinical Trials."
