The AGA Institute Council Microbiome & Microbial Diseases in the Gastrointestinal Tract (MMDGT) Section has put out its annual call for novel microbiome research for Digestive Disease Week® (DDW). Help the MMDGT section in developing a strong microbiome program at DDW by submitting your research for consideration by Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018. More information and resources about abstract submission are available at www.gastro.org/ddw.
This year the section has developed the following abstract descriptors for you to submit your research to. These descriptors are intended to establish a deep understanding of interactions between microbiome communities and their hosts and will also provide new insight into how host and epigenetic factors influence gastrointestinal ecosystems. Many of these are also co-sponsored by other council sections. For a more detailed explanation of what should be presented, please see AGA’s Expanded Descriptors.

The goal of the AGA Institute Council MMDGT Section is to promote ideas, research, technology, education and dialogue that advance the understanding of the gastrointestinal microbiome in health and disease. The section achieves this goal by soliciting, reviewing and programing the majority of AGA’s microbiome related abstracts and content at DDW annually.
