Rome Jutabha

Rome Jutabha is a Clinical Professor of Medicine and Director of Clinical Outreach and Development at the University of Southern California (USC). His research focuses on gastrointestinal hemorrhage management, endoscopic techniques, and liver disease complications. Notable contributions include advancing Doppler-based risk stratification for peptic and nonvariceal upper GI bleeding, evaluating outcomes of ischemic colitis, and optimizing endoscopic approaches for variceal prophylaxis in cirrhosis. He has authored over 80 peer-reviewed articles spanning clinical trials, diagnostic methodologies, and cost-effectiveness analyses in gastroenterology.

Research interests emphasize translational applications of endoscopy, such as capsule endoscopy advancements and comparative effectiveness of hemorrhage therapies. His work bridges clinical practice with innovations in endoscopic tools and protocols, particularly in managing complex cases like Cameron ulcers and anastomotic varices.

Publications highlight trends in hemorrhage risk stratification, cost analyses of diagnostic modalities (e.g., CT vs endoscopy), and evidence-based guidelines for acute GI bleeding. His clinical leadership includes directing outreach initiatives to improve translational research and patient care pathways in gastrointestinal disorders.
