Purpose
The purpose of the Neuroimmune Crosstalk Workshop is to solicit the perspectives and recommendations of experts in the fields of neurogastroenterology, immunology, and microbiology.
The goal is to inform the professional community and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the research needs for advancing the understanding of neuroimmune interactions in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)–relevant areas of interest, including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and gut–brain communication.
