Prof. Rami Sommerstein, Professor of Infectious Diseases and Public Health Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Bern, heads the 'SSI Intervention' module at Swissnoso.

I am pleased to share my experience as a clinical research fellow at the Cleveland Clinic Florida under the mentorship of Dr. Raul Rosenthal. I hope that my experience will encourage young academics who are also considering a similar project.

Hirschsprung`s disease is a multigenetic intestinal disorder characterized by a variable length of distal colonic aganglionosis. The exact cause is unknown but proposed pathological mechanisms are processes of the enteric neural crest-derived cell development and include faulty proliferation, insufficient cephocaudal migration, differentiation, and survival [1]. The consequences are continuous contraction and lack of peristalsis leading to functional intestinal obstruction at the terminal migratory site of ganglion cells [2]. Although Hirschsprung`s disease can affect any length from the internal anal sphincter to the entire large bowel the incidence is approximately 1 in 5000 births, with a male predominance of 4:1 in rectosigmoid Hirschsprung`s disease [3].
