On November 1st, the IBDGC held its annual in-person meeting in Washington, DC. The working group presentations led to very fruitful discussions that will undoubtedly help guide the future direction of the IBDGC's research and analysis in the coming months. High engagement from both trainees and senior investigators made for a synergistic meeting that marks one of the most successful in the IBDGC's history.

A special thanks to our EAB for the insightful input they provided!

A well-deserved congratulations is in order for Dr. Stappenbeck, the chair of Inflammation and Immunity at Cleveland Clinic and a long-time collaborator of the IBDGC. His research focuses on mechanisms of intestinal repair and the techniques he has developed have led to numerous advances in the field of IBD.
