We are excited to announce our efforts to honor the legacy of Ikuo Hirano, MD, through the establishment of a session in his name at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW). Dr. Hirano pioneered work in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and left a profound impact on the GI community as a researcher, clinician, and mentor. Contributions will support the establishment of this named session and help inspire future generations of GIs.

Thank you, AGA leaders and patient advocates for all you do to improve and protect GI patient care. Recap + photos: https://ow.ly/mrrt50TBG12
