About
Dr. Pichamol Jirapinyo is a pioneering gastroenterologist and interventional endoscopist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastrointestinal disorders, particularly in bariatric endoscopy and colorectal lesion management. Her major contributions include pioneering robot-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal lesions, demonstrating in a randomized pilot study that robotic assistance significantly improves outcomes for endoscopists without prior ESD experience—a finding with over 92 citations that has reshaped training paradigms in therapeutic endoscopy. She also introduced the first-in-human proof of concept for bariatric endoscopic antral myotomy, a novel procedure targeting gastric emptying to induce weight loss, representing a paradigm shift in obesity treatment by directly addressing underlying pathophysiology. With cumulative citations exceeding 100, her work bridges technical innovation and clinical translation, earning her recognition as a leader in advanced endoscopy. Dr. Jirapinyo’s research not only enhances procedural safety and efficacy but also expands therapeutic options for obesity and colorectal cancer, making her a transformative figure in gastroenterology.
