In the last two days I received two press releases about Crohn's Disease related webcasts. One is being sponsored by the CCFA and the other by Patient Power. Here is more information about these webcasts where you can learn about some of the cutting edge Crohn's research and treatments being done today.

This will feature Dr. Terrence Barrett from Northwestern Memorial Hospital, discussing state-of-the-art management of inflammatory bowel disease.
