In spite of his diverse skills, he is most noted for his work in endoscopy for pancreatic and biliary diseases. For 21 years, he has organized and co-hosted a highly regarded symposium on pancreatic and biliary endoscopy that features the most recognized biliary endoscopists in the world. He is currently devoting most of his time to building a program to integrate basic science and clinical services for improvement in the understanding and treatment of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
Central to the advancement of health care is the willingness to learn and the commitment to teach. Dr. Lo has learned from some of the most noted figures in endoscopy and GI sciences, while engaging in many educational events in endoscopy here and abroad. He has spoken extensively in many countries and has trained numerous gastroenterologists and GI interventionists over the years. He has also published many articles in the field. He is exceedingly grateful to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Joseph Leung on this very practical and valuable book on endoscopy.
