The goals of the Gastrointestinal and Liver (GI & Liver) Section are to enhance and promote innovative discoveries in physiology and pathophysiology and to advance our understanding from the molecular to the organ level. To achieve these goals, we provide a forum for the dissemination of research findings and recognize scientific excellence at all career levels. The GI & Liver Section offers an environment to enhance interaction among GI & Liver physiologists and other disciplines to foster an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to scientific discovery.
