This session, designed for the fellows, clinician educator and program director focuses on designing and delivering curricula for GI fellows on the topics of nutrition, including the obesity epidemic…
State of the art - omic methods now provide deeper insight into the biologic architecture of IBD. This session will review state of the art advances in metabolomics, transcriptomics, and epigenetics in defining the biologic basis of IBD…
The molecular circadian clock helps optimize host physiology to the environment by influencing the timing and coordination of metabolic processes. Host-microbe interactions also play an important role in determining metabolic responses to environmental challenges…
This session would provide attendees with a foundational understanding of the pathophysiology of intestinal failure and short bowel syndrome which inform the management of the disease…
Food intake and energy expenditure are key regulators of body weight. To regulate food intake, the brain must integrate physiological signals and hedonic cues…
The autonomic nervous system, with its two branches the parasympathetic and the sympathetic, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of many physiological responses to maintain metabolic homeostasis in variable target tissues…
The literature in personalized nutrition in healthcare has been expanding. This program will review the scientific principles of nutritional genomics and metabalomics in predicting and impacting health and disease…
Gathering evidence suggests that communication between the gut and brain plays a major role in health and disease. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying gut-brain communication is a major unresolved field of neurogastroenterology…
In this session we will learn about the exciting advances in mechanisms by which microbial metabolites as well can drive metabolic disorders and the pipeline of potential microbial therapeutics to treat metabolic disorders…
