The GENOMICS for MONOGENIC IBD WORKSHOP in Oxford 2023
St. Catherine's College, Oxford, known for its mid-century modernism and timeless design, provided an ideal setting to host a workshop that brought together clinicians and scientists from various disciplines to explore the use of clinical genomics in the context of monogenic forms of inflammatory bowel disease. This workshop aimed to summarize recent developments in the field of genetics and immunology to improve patient care for individuals with gastrointestinal immune system problems.
ALINE AZABDAFTARi awarded the BEST YOUNG GPGE Presentation
Aline Azabdaftari was awarded the presentation prize at the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition 2023 for her work on the epithelial gene defect AGR2. Single-cell analysis, organoid cultures, and gut on a chip.... A collaboration with Bernice Lo lab in Doha, Qatar.
Sarah Hearn joined the team as coordinator of the UK Paediatric IBD bioressource.
Presentation prize of the GPGE for Dominik Aschenbrenner
Dominik Aschenbrenner was awarded the Presentation Prize of the German Association for Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (GPGE) in recognition of an outstanding scientific contribution at the annual conference. Dominik presented how gain of function variants in SYK cause a multi-organ inflammatory disease. The presented work is part of an ongoing collaboration with Aleixo Muise, Ying Huang, Dali Li, Kaan Boztug, Bodo Grimbachern Sophie Hambleton and the VEOIBD consortium.The work has been recently published Wang, Aschenbrenner, Zeng et al.
