Microbiome and FMT with Dr Johan Van Den Bogaerde - Part 1

Dr Johan Van Den Bogaerde completed his undergraduate training in
South Africa, with postgraduate training in the United Kingdom at
Cambridge, St. Mark’s and Hammersmith Hospitals.


Dr Van Den Bogaerde is particularly interested in the microbiome,
and has recently completed a trial looking at fecal
transplantation in patients with ulcerative colitis, which had
encouraging results. Dr Van Den Bogaerde believes
Gastroenterology is an exciting and important field, and has
very broad interests including the study of the microbiome,
esophageal pathology, motility disturbances, inflammatory bowel
disease and functional bowel disease. 


He has been performing general, interventional and hepatobiliary
procedures at Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital for the
past four years. 


He is also very interested in new techniques, particularly
interventional endoscopic techniques, and works closely with a
strong team of surgical colleagues at Sunshine Coast University
Private Hospital including Physicians, Renal Physicians and
Cardiologists.

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)
