The Nijmegen GI/Hep meetings are part of a cycle of seminars with the aim to expose students, residents, junior researchers and consultants to the most recent developments in (clinical) Gastroenterology.Guest speakers
Guest speakers are renowned European clinicians/researchers who are considered to be expert in their field.Interaction
The meetings are held at a monthly interval at the Endoscopy center of the Radboudumc. These sessions have the format of a didactic lecture. The talks are mostly preceded by a meeting that allows interaction of our staff of junior researchers with the expert.Topics
Topics include the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of a wide range of hepatological or gastroenterological related diseases. They are attended by the Faculty of the Department, Fellows, Medicine Residents, and students rotating on the GI service. In addition, they may also be attended by Surgeons, as well as GI/Endoscopic nursing staff.Educational curriculum
The Nijmegen GI/Hep meetings at the Radboudumc represent an integral part of the educational curriculum.
Invited speaker Prof. dr. Tom Lüdde
Prof. dr. Lüdde will give a guest lecture about the 'role of programmed cell death in GI carcinogenesis' on 2 December 2022.

Prof. dr. Tom Lüdde is working at the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectious Diseases at the University Hospital Düsseldorf (Germany). After studying in Hanover, where he also obtained his PhD in molecular medicine, he continued with research in this field and obtained a post-doc at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Monterotondo, Italy, and the Institute of Genetics in Cologne.
Currently, he is conducting research in both molecular and clinical aspects of liver disease and GI cancers. For example, as a project leader of DEEP LIVER he and his team are using artificial intelligence on histological images from liver biopsies and clinical data to develop a tool that will improve individual risk prediction and accelerate the diagnosis of rare diseases. Another of his teams research goals is to understand, which pathogenic stimuli are activating apoptosis or necroptosis in the liver and how these distinct forms of cell death regulate inflammatory responses and regeneration. This in order to understand the mechanism on fibrosis (activation of hepatic stellate cells) and cancer development. In line with this research objective Prof. dr. Lüdde will give us a guest lecture on ‘Role of Programmed Cell Death in GI Carcinogenesis’.
