AGA Honors NINR’s Henderson

Dr. Wendy A. Henderson

Dr. Wendy A. Henderson, chief of the digestive disorders unit in NINR’s Biobehavioral Branch, has been selected to participate in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Future Leaders Program. She joins 17 other early-career physicians and scientists who were selected for this competitive program based on their current achievements, dedication to advancing the field and potential for future success. Henderson is the first nurse scientist to be selected to this program. “With the AGA Future Leaders Program, we are developing a healthy pipeline of future leaders who will guide AGA for years to come in its mission of empowering clinicians and researchers to improve digestive health,” said Dr. Darrell Pardi, co-program chair. “We look forward to working with these rising stars and preparing them for continued success and achievements in gastroenterology.”
