Dr. Esplin is board certified in clinical genetics and internal medicine with a focus on using comprehensive germline, ctDNA and solid-tumor somatic genomic information to provide cancer patients precision therapies and clinical trials access. This includes the landmark INTERCEPT study with Mayo Clinic on universal germline testing in all patients with cancer; the PROCLAIM study demonstrating the utility of universal genetic testing for patients with prostate cancer; and ARTEMIS-PC on ctDNA-MRD detection in patients with pancreatic cancer, among others. Dr. Esplin completed the MSTP program at UT Southwestern obtaining his MD and PhD in genetics. Clinical genetics training at Stanford University was followed by an NIH-funded Tashia and John Morgridge Endowed Postdoctoral Fellowship under Mike Snyder in the Stanford Department of Genetics, where he maintains an academic appointment. He is a fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the American College of Physicians (ACP).
