Remarks by Dr. David Rubin

2016 Award Event – November 10, 2016

“There is a lot more work that we have to do and, therefore, identifying those who have devoted their careers to these conditions and to helping those who suffer from these diseases and honoring them and supporting them is critically important. And that’s why the Sherman Prize is so meaningful to all of us. This is a tremendous gift to the IBD community.”
