Annual meeting of the German Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility 2024

From February 16th to 18th the annual meeting of the DGNM took place in Freising, Germany, once more bringing together basic and clinical researchers presenting their current exciting data on a broad range of scientific questions connected to Neurogastroenterology. This year’s meeting included a special symposium with international speakers to honour the 20 years anniversary of the Foundation of Neurogastroenterology and particularly his founder Prof. Dr. Thomas Frieling, who will retire in 2024. International companions presented their research findings and perspectives on neurogastroenterology, including Hannah Carey, Maggy Curras, Fievos Christofi, Jan Tack and Paul Wade. Prof. Frieling established the foundation in 2004 with the aim to support young clinical and basic researchers from the field of Neurogastroenterology at the beginning of their scientific careers with awarding a prize of 1500€ every year.

Jutta Keller, the representative of the German society in the ESNM steering committee and Kristin Elfers, a young ESNM steering committee member, actively participated in the meeting, presenting research data and parts of the contents from the SC meeting discussed in Vienna.
