Excerpt

It is the time of year where we would like to take the opportunity to update the readership of Digestive Diseases and Sciences on the past year’s Gastroenterology Research Group (GRG) activities. First off, we want to thank all of the members and speakers for their participations in the 2015 GRG Spring Symposium held during Digestive Disease Week on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, USA. The symposium was entitled “Chips Ahoy” and was chaired by Drs. John P. Lynch and Barbara H. Jung. Three excellent lectures were presented:
1.

2.
Dongeun “Dan” Huh, PhD, University of Pennsylvania: “Microengineered Physiological Bio-mimicry: Human Organs-on-Chips”
