JGHF Marshall-Warren Luminal Gastroenterology Lecture – Selection and Recipients
background
In 2007 the JGHFoundation introduced a distinguished lecture in the area of luminal gastroenterology. The lecture was to be delivered each year during Asia Pacific Digestive Week. From 2008 onwards this lecture is to be known as the JGHF Marshall-Warren Lecture to recognise the pivotal contribution to luminal gastroenterology made by Professor Barry Marshall and Professor Robin Warren, both from Western Australia. Professors Marshall and Warren received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005 for their discovery of the principal causal agent of peptic ulcer disease and of a major aetiological factor in gastric cancer – the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori. Their discovery has changed the landscape for the management of peptic ulcer disease throughout the world.
Selection of Lecturer
Our selection process is as follows:
- The APDW Federation nominates three (3) potential lecturers and appropriate topics.
- The potential nominees should come from more than one country within Asia Pacific region.
- The JGHFoundation will make the final decision on the selection of the lecturer in the year preceding the lecture.
- The APDW Federation will advise the APDW Local Organising Committee who will notify the selected lecturer.
Funding
The funding package is to assist in covering the following expenses:
- Return airfares economy for national sector and business class for international sector (or two economy class airfares for the full trip to equivalent cost) between home city and the venue for the APDW meeting.
- Accommodation for the duration of APDW.
- Honorarium of US$2,000 for submission of manuscript at the time of the meeting for publication in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (JGH).
- All travel and accommodation arrangements will be made by the APDW organisers.
- The selected Lecturer must ensure that both a manuscript and all relevant receipts are provided to the APDW organisers to receive reimbursement and payment.
Manuscript
The Lecturer is required to submit a manuscript at the time of the meeting that will cover the content of his/her lecture. The manuscript should be structured as a review article between 3,000-5,000 words and between 3-8 tables and figures. It is expected that this will be a detailed and learned exposé of the topic concerned, and will also emphasise practical points for clinicians and investigators.
