Succeeding him as President is Professor Frank Zerbib, a gastroenterology expert at the University of Bordeaux and a respected member of the ESNM community. Renowned for his work in esophageal motility disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease, Frank brings extensive expertise and a clear vision for the society’s future.
