APS GI/Liver Section Banquet

The APS GI/Liver section banquet in recent years has been an informal focal point for EB attendees interested in iron transport and metabolism. Why not take this opportunity to meet with colleagues and enjoy a fabulous banquet (at deeply-discounted prices thanks to the generosity of Takeda Pharmaceuticals)? Check back soon for details. Visit the APS GI/Liver Section Banquet website.
