Douglas K. Rex studies colonoscopy and the detection and removal of colorectal polyps, which are growths in the colon that can develop into cancer. His work focuses on improving how doctors find these polyps (including with artificial intelligence tools), how to distinguish harmful from harmless ones, and the best techniques for removing large polyps safely. Much of the research aims to make colorectal cancer screening more accurate and effective.
