Lab members present at the 2023 Department of Surgery Research Symposium

Multiple Gurtner Lab members presented their research at the 2023 Department of Research Symposium. It was a full morning of keynote lectures, oral sessions, quick shot presentations, digital posters, and networking. There was community collaboration as well, as after each presentation students and faculty members alike asked questions and provided commentary. 

Dr. Ronald DeMatteo was the guest speaker with his presentation titled "Deconstructing GIST". He is nationally recognized for his expertise in treating diseases of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, abdominal sarcomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). His lecture was informative and educational.

Many thanks to Dr. Gurtner, Dr. Joseph, and the entire administrative team of the Arizona Department of Surgery for hosting such a wonderful event. The lab is looking forward to presenting at next years symposium!
