Over the four days of sessions, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the latest developments in research on the underlying mechanisms responsible for experimental and clinical IBD.

Reflecting the "translational" nature of the meetings sponsored by the American Physiological Society, clinical, pharmaceutical and biotech researchers will highlight novel IBD therapeutic strategies.
