| 11/30/2016 | Working Group Member | In addition to serving as the local/regional medical directof of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) at Primary Children's Hospital. I have represented us in the NASPGHAN FMT special interest group collaborating clinical data for a large, multicenter clinical collaboration to evaluate safety and efficacy of FMT in the pediatric group. PCH is one of the largest contributors to this large collaboration. | Canada |
