Neuroimmuno-physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract

The overarching goal of this meeting is to focus attention on the complex interrelationships that exist among and between the regulatory systems that contribute to normal intestinal homeostasis. The meeting will also explore the ways in which deviations from this norm can lead to gastrointestinal disease states.

The organizers of Neuroimmunophysiology of the GI Tract 2023 have created an opportunity for leading scientists and trainees to interact in an informal atmosphere to discuss current and emerging data that will:

1. Advance an understanding of the neuroimmunophysiology of the GI tract,
2. Shape future approaches to the treatment of gut dysfunction and disease,
3. Provide trainees with a forum to present and discuss their research.

We hope that you will approach this meeting with enthusiasm and an open mind. The breadth and diversity of the program will challenge and inspire you. The concepts that will be developed over the two days of the meeting will broaden your thinking and can provide a new impetus to your research. The meeting will be a success if lasting friendships are formed, and new collaborations emerge. We hope that you will enjoy some great science surrounded by the awe-inspiring Rocky Mountains.
