I was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I attended University of Illinois for undergraduate, then Northwestern University for MD/PhD training (MSTP). I matched for AP/CP at Northwestern University Department of Pathology, where I additionally served as Chief Resident during my PGY3 year. I continued at Northwestern for GI and Liver Fellowship training. I am currently Assistant Professor of Pathology at Northwestern University, where I focus on GI sub specialty for daily sign out.  My academic interests and area of research includes molecular alterations in colorectal carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors, and also inflammatory bowel disease (especially dysplasia arising in inflammatory bowel disease). Additionally I am interested in pathology education and increasing pathology representation among URMs at the residency and medical school levels, but would like to expand to include pre-medical school opportunities. Personal interests include my family (especially my 5 year old daughter), biking/cycling, soccer, and classical music.Twitter: @d_escobar_mdphd
