I am an esophageal surgeon at McGill University in Montreal Canada and director of the division of Thoracic and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery at this institution.\n\nIn addition to being an active clinician directing the multidisciplinary McGill University Program in Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers, I am a tenured professor and scientist in the Departments of Surgery and Oncology. Through these roles, I have spearheaded numerous initiatives designed to improve outcomes in esophageal surgery and upper GI cancer through carefully coordinated basic, translational, and clinical scientific research.\n\nOver the past 20 years I have been fortunate to have benefited from numerous peer review grants from funding agencies in North America and Europe for my work into the inflammatory basis of cancer progression and metastasis. In 2019, I was a part of an international team of scientists who received a Cancer Research UK Grand Challenge to investigate the stromal drivers underpinning Barrett\u2019s adenocarcinoma progression.\n\nMy roles in ISDE include being the program co-chair of the 2020-2021 ISDE World Congress and serving as associate editor of the Disease of the Esophagus journal since 2015. I look forward to contributing and continuing my service to the ISDE as Vice President.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-20 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c9c8cb7 exad-glass-effect-no jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"c9c8cb7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7edcca5 jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"7edcca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_7edcca5_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\"  data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"ekit_team_modal_#7edcca5_8602\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-9133\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_7edcca5_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tKrishna Moorthy\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-body END -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide elementskit-team-popup team-popup-id-7edcca5\" id=\"ekit_team_modal_7edcca5_8602\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"ekit-team-modal-close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-times\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-9133\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Krishna-Moorthy.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-info has-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ekit-team-modal-title\">Krishna Moorthy<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ekit-team-modal-position\"><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMr Krishna Moorthy is a Senior Lecturer in surgery in Imperial College London and Consultant Surgeon in Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust.

He completed a DEC degree in Physics from Vanier University in 1977, and then a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Microbiology and Immunology, with honors, in 1980, from McGill University, Montreal Canada. He then attended medical school at McGill University, Montreal, and graduated in 1984, with honors.  During medical school he was awarded the Pathology, Anatomy, and Surgery Prizes for highest grades and most outstanding performance in these specialties. Following medical school, Dr. Odze completed three years of general surgical residency, followed by three years of surgical pathology training at McGill University associated teaching hospitals leading to completion of the latter and board certification in 1989.  He then completed a GI pathology fellowship program at Harvard Medical School (New England Deaconess and Beth Israel Hospitals), in Boston, in 1990, under the apprenticeship of Dr Harvey Goldman who is widely regarded as one of the grandfathers of modern day GI pathology. \n\nDr. Odze began his tenure as a faculty Pathologist at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital in 1993 and became Director of the division of GI Pathology in 1997. In 2007, Dr. Odze became a  full Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School.  Over the course of his career, Dr. Odze has directed hundreds national and international courses in various aspects of GI Pathology. He has served as an executive committee member, and as President, of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology GI Pathology Society.  Dr. Odze serves on many editorial review boards of pathology and gastroenterology journals.  He also served as the associate editor of the American Journal of Gastroenterology from 2003-2009 and as associate editor of the IBD journal.  Dr. Odze has also served as a member of the education committee of the American College of Gastroenterology.  Dr Odze is currently a consultant faculty pathologist, and Professor of pathology, at Tufts University Medical School and medical center, and president of a global medical and pathology consulting company titled \u201cDr. Robert Odze Pathology LLC\u201d ( Odzepathology.com). \n\nThe scope and basis of Dr. Odze's research has focused on the pathology, etiology, molecular pathogenesis, and natural history of preneoplastic disorders of the GI tract, particularly Barrett\u2019s Esophagus and Inflammatory Bowel diseases (IBD), such as Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn\u2019s Disease.  Dr. Odze's research has led to a better understanding of early molecular mechanisms of columnar metaplasia and dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and IBD, detection of novel markers to differentiate Barrett's Esophagus from other inflammatory conditions, a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of the dysplasia-carcinoma sequence, and the treatment of these disorders, particularly Barrett's Esophagus and IBD. In this capacity, Dr. Odze has published over 500 peer reviewed original research articles, reviews, editorials, and book chapters, and over 200 scientific abstracts presented at scientific meetings. Dr. Odze has edited and \/or authored 6 textbooks in pathology, and currently serves as the senior editor of the most detailed and comprehensive textbook of GI pathology worldwide titled \"Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas\", which is currently in its fourth edition (2022). The third edition of this textbook won the prestigious, \u201cmost outstanding pathology textbook\u201d award from the British Society of Medicine in 2016.  Other notable textbook publications include senior author\/editor of the most recent (fourth) series of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) fascicle on Tumors of the Esophagus and Stomach, and expert member, editor and author of the fourth, and then most recent fifth, edition of the WHO textbook on Digestive System Tumors.

Hofstetter, M.D., is currently Professor  and Deputy Chair in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and serves as Director of the Esophageal Surgery Program. A graduate of the University of Southern California Medical School, Dr. Hofstetter focused on thoracic surgical disease, completing fellowships in esophageal and foregut surgeries at the University of Southern California, and then thoracic oncology at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Broadly trained as a cardiothoracic surgeon and thoracic oncologist at the Texas Heart Institute, he now devotes a great deal of his work to esophageal cancer and lung cancer. At M. D. Anderson, he formed a strong network of clinicians with specific interests in esophageal diseases. A multidisciplinary group emerged under his able leadership, and together, physicians from other specialties like Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and Gastroenterology collaborate closely to treat esophageal cancer patients.\n\nBoard certified both by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, Dr. Hofstetter is nationally and internationally involved in a host of clinical and scientific endeavors with membership in several organizations, the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, the General Thoracic Surgical Club, the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, including the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. His research, which forms a vital part of his academic role, has led to numerous peer-reviewed publications, notably in such journals as the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Annals of Thoracic Surgery, and Cancer.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-20 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e46af9 exad-glass-effect-no jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"5e46af9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35a5f57 jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"35a5f57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_35a5f57_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\"  data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"ekit_team_modal_#35a5f57_8602\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-8968\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_35a5f57_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHirotoshi Kikuchi\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-body END -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide elementskit-team-popup team-popup-id-35a5f57\" id=\"ekit_team_modal_35a5f57_8602\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"ekit-team-modal-close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-times\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-8968\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hirotoshi-Kikuchi.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-info has-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ekit-team-modal-title\">Hirotoshi Kikuchi<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ekit-team-modal-position\"><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEducation:\n May, 1998;

Falk M.D., M.S. is currently Professor of Medicine and Director, Esophageal Program, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He received his undergraduate and medical school training at the University of Rochester before going to George Washington University for his medical internship and residency. After a clinical and research fellowship at the University of Michigan, he was a member of the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Cleveland Clinic.  While in Cleveland, he also received a master\u2019s degree in clinical research from Case Western Reserve University.  \n\nHe has been involved in clinical research in Barrett\u2019s esophagus, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Helicobacter pylori, esophageal motility disorders, advanced esophageal imaging and therapeutics and eosinophilic esophagitis throughout his career.  The most important of these themes has been in the area of early detection and prevention of esophageal cancer.   Collaborations with other centers have led to studies on familial risk, molecular imaging paradigms, chemoprevention, radiofrequency ablation and endomicroscopy.

He qualified from the University of Navarra, Spain in 2000 and completed his training in Gastroenterology at the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (HUCA), Spain in 2008.\n\nHis interest in advanced therapeutic endoscopy and Barrett\u2019s started in Amsterdam back in 2008, where he spent three months as an observer at the Academic Medical Centre (AMC). Back to Spain he worked for two years as a Consultant in GI Endoscopy in the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (HUCA) and then he moved to Chicago to spend a year as an Endoscopy Research Fellow in the Centre for Endoscopic Research and Therapeutics (CERT) of the University of Chicago Medical Centre with Professor Irving Waxman. In the USA his research was focused in advanced endoscopic imaging for diagnosis of Early Barrett\u2019s neoplasia, endotherapy for Barrett\u2019s oesophagus and new approaches for endoscopic biliary access and advanced EUS techniques. He returned to his original post in Spain where he helped in setting up in Asturias one of the first units in the country offering endoscopic treatment for early Barrett\u2019s neoplasia.\n\nHe moved to Nottingham in 2012 to progress in his training as an interventional endoscopist and completed an Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship with Professor Krish Ragunath, being EUS and endoscopic therapies for early Upper GI neoplasia his main fields of interest. He was appointed as a Consultant Gastroenterologist in Nottingham in 2016.\n\nHis research activity includes advanced endoscopic imaging, early Upper GI neoplasia diagnosis and minimally invasive endoscopic therapy of early Upper GI cancer.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-45a48bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default exad-glass-effect-no jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"45a48bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-20 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-304e9cb exad-glass-effect-no jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"304e9cb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3acf03b jltma-glass-effect-no exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"3acf03b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_3acf03b_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\"  data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"ekit_team_modal_#3acf03b_8602\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-9434\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_3acf03b_8602\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJohn Morris\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-body END -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide elementskit-team-popup team-popup-id-3acf03b\" id=\"ekit_team_modal_3acf03b_8602\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"ekit-team-modal-close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-times\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-9434\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isde-congress.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/John-Morris.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-info has-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ekit-team-modal-title\">John Morris<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ekit-team-modal-position\"><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDr Allan John Morris is a Consultant Gastroenterologist at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at Glasgow University Medical School and Clinical Lead for Gastroenterology for Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board.
