On November 2, 2017, the 3rd Annual New York City IBD Research Day was hosted by The Rockefeller University on their campus. The symposium is a yearly event coming to fruition through the collaboration of three institutions: The Jill Roberts Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine, The Immunology Institute of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and The Center for Basic and Translational Research on Disorders of the Digestive System at The Rockefeller University. Dr. Bana Jabri graciously accepted the Lloyd D. Mayer, MD Award presented by her friend and colleague, Dr. Sergio Lira. The attendees listened to ten presenters, who had traveled from around the globe for this event, engaging in lively Q & A conversations afterwards. Generous sponsorship from The Helmsley Charitable Trust, the NY Crohn’s Foundation, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, Pfizer, and Boehringer Ingelheim made the enriching day possible.
