Electron Kebebew, MD, FACS

4.9/5

Biography

Dr. Electron Kebebew is an internationally recognized expert in Endocrine Oncology and Surgery. He has performed more than four thousand operations on the adrenal, parathyroid, and thyroid glands, and for neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. He has given over 200 invited lectures and visiting professorships. His clinical and translational studies on endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors have been awarded more than $30 million in research funding. Dr. Kebebew has authored and coauthored over 400 scientific articles, 40 book chapters, and edited or co-edited four textbooks. His scientific contributions include the use of molecular markers in thyroid nodule to refine diagnosis and prognostication, identification of novel target for endocrine cancer therapy, implementation of genetic testing and advanced imaging modality to optimize the management of patients with endocrine neoplasm and to allow the practice of precision surgery, and the identification and characterization of inherited endocrine and neuroendocrine syndromes, and their susceptibility genes.
