Digestive Disease Week 2026
WIRE's first DDW as a structured research institute. Eight abstracts presented across clinical trial methodology, observational research, practice variation, scientific transparency in endoscopy, and esophageal bioengineering — including an ASGE Video Plenary presentation. Five trainees led nationally presented work, and Dr. Smith delivered two invited symposium talks on evidence-based ERCP.
