With potentially thousands of people getting fecal transplants in the near future, education of the lay public and clinicians is also crucial, said Dr. Wu.
The AGA’s Center for Gut Microbiome Research and Education will help fulfill that role. Started in March, its mission is to advance research and education. The advisory board will make recommendations to the AGA Governing Board on policy and research strategies.
Danone Inc. is a founding supporter of the center.
