David Y. Graham, MD – William Beaumont Prize in Gastroenterology
A remarkable clinician, scientist, and mentor to the next generation of GI, Dr. Graham currently serves as professor of medicine-gastroenterology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Graham was born in Ancon, in the Panama Canal Zone, where his father was working as an engineer. The family eventually settled in Lake Jackson, a small gulf coast town outside of Houston. There he developed a love for outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, and riding horses. He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and returned home to Houston to receive his medical degree with honors from Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Graham’s training was interrupted by the Vietnam War during which he was drafted into the U.S. Army as a flight surgeon.
In addition to his clinical and research missions, Dr. Graham has mentored numerous individuals during his years as a clinician scientist, many of whom have gone on to have successful careers in academic medicine. He has been an active AGA member for more than 4 decades, receiving several honors including the prestigious AGA Mentor Award in 2015 and the Janssen Award for Special Achievement in Gastroenterology.

She currently serves as distinguished professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, and is serving as a rotating appointment as director of the Division of Graduate Education of the National Science Foundation.
Born in London, Dr. Barrett was the first of her family to attend college. She earned a BSc in Medicinal Chemistry at University College London where she also stayed to complete her PhD studies. Following the completion of her PhD, Dr. Barrett moved to the U.S. to continue her training at the National Institutes of Health, where she continued her work in studies on the functional heterogeneity of mast cells. Alongside her many contributions to the GI field, she still believes in having fun, living by the phrase “put yourself about a bit.” She is a proud member of the band GI Distress as one of the “Fabulous Fasebettes.”
