New Wave

NewWave is the official and only newsletter of the Association of GI Physiologists (AGIP), which has been in circulation since 1998. NewWave was reformatted into an e-newsletter in 2011 and is produced and sent to its members quarterly.

The aim of the e-newsletter is to keep its members up to date and informed of recent developments. This will be achieved by providing its members with articles and featured abstracts, information on forthcoming meetings and any other relevant information that may be of interest.

If you have any information that you feel may be of interest to AGIP members (articles, forthcoming meetings, adverts etc.) then please feel free to get in touch with the current NewWave editor: Gemma Norris.
