Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) Australian Gastroenterology Week (AGW) 2019

Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) Australian Gastroenterology Week (AGW) 2019 is organized by Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) and will be held from Sep 08 - 10, 2019 at Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Bushell Lecturer will be Professor Martin J. Blaser, the Henry Rutgers Chair of the Human Microbiome, Professor of Medicine and Pathology, and the Director of the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine at Rutgers University, USA.   Professor Blaser has a long and impressive history in microbiome research – starting well before it became fashionable! He has a well-deserved international profile especially with regard to Campylobacter species and Helicobacter pylori. Moreover, in 2015 he was named in the TIME Top 100 Most Influential people in the world and is also the author of several acclaimed books for the general reader including Missing Microbes: How the overuse of antibiotics is fuelling our modern plagues.

Professor Blaser will set the stage for our exciting three-day program incorporating synergistic themes covering scientific and educational lectures, symposia, free papers, and poster presentations. We continue the tradition of our Young Investigator Awards, showcasing the cutting-edge research carried out by emerging researchers in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The theme for the 2019’s meeting is “The Universe Within”.

Will once again offer 2 sessions dedicated to General Practitioners, Basic Physician Trainees, Generalist Physicians, and other interested Healthcare Professionals. The sessions entitled “GP/Generalist Gastroenterology and Hepatology Update” parts 1 and 2, will take place on Sunday, 8 September 2019.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
