Jasbir Dhaliwal, MBBS, MSc

Dr. Jasbir Dhaliwal has received extensive and comprehensive clinical training across all areas of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition, with advanced subspecialty expertise in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), her primary clinical focus. She has trained at several world-renowned institutions, including King’s College Hospital in London, Sydney Children’s Hospital, and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Dr. Dhaliwal’s research program is centered on harnessing diverse data sources to improve the care and management of children with IBD. Her work focuses on using predictive analytics and advanced computational methods to investigate the clinical and biological factors that drive outcomes in this complex and heterogeneous disease. In collaboration with national and international partners, her research has helped define the phenotypic spectrum of pediatric IBD, identify distinct disease subtypes, and examine ethno-racial differences in disease expression. Her funded projects integrate deep learning and machine learning approaches to analyze multi-modal data, including molecular profiles, medical imaging (such as endoscopy and histopathology), and clinical data derived from electronic health records. Dr. Dhaliwal leads an independent research laboratory supported by multiple grant awards. She currently mentors a team consisting of three research associates, a postdoctoral scholar, a PhD candidate, and an advanced IBD clinical fellow. Her role as a faculty member in the NIH-funded Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition T32 training program further reflects her commitment to educating the next generation of physician-scientists in foundational epidemiological methods and research design.
