Background

Dr. Michael G. Goggins is a professor of pathology, medicine and oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He serves as director of the Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection Laboratory and is an attending physician in medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is the Sol Goldman Professor of Pancreatic Cancer Research.

Dr. Goggins’ research interests include developing tests to improve the early detection in pancreas cancer, evaluating outcomes of pancreatic surveillance and identifying gene variants responsible for inherited susceptibility to pancreatic cancer.

He obtained his medical degree in 1988 from Trinity College of the University of Dublin, Ireland. He completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in Gastroenterology at St. James' Hospital in Dublin. He obtained his Membership of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 1991 and his European Diploma in Gastroenterology in 1995. He joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 1999.

Dr. Goggins is a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. He sits on the editorial boards of Gut.

Research & Publications

Research Summary

Dr. Goggins’ current research is focused on discovering new markers of pancreatic adenocarcinoma using genetic, epigenetic and proteomic strategies, characterizing the epigenetic alterations in pancreatic cancers and normal tissues and identifying familial pancreatic cancer susceptibility genes through linkage, genome wide association and candidate gene approaches. Additional epigenetic studies are aimed at determining the functional and clinical significance of aberrant DNA methylation changes in pancreatic cancers.

Lab

In the Pancreatic Cancer Early Detection Laboratory, Dr. Goggins oversees research that focuses on gene expression patterns of pancreatic cancers using microarray technology. The lab is also studying DNA methylation patterns looking for genes that are methylated in pancreatic cancer but not in normal cells.

The lab has put together a profile of genes that are methylated in pancreatic cancer. Some pancreatic cancers methylate a lot of genes; most appear to methylate only a few genes. The lab is currently directing efforts to identify additional genes methylated in pancreatic cancer using novel techniques, and is studying the role of telomerase in pancreatic cancer and its potential as a marker for early detection.
