(NASDAQ:NMTR), a clinical-stage company pioneering novel treatments for people with rare or debilitating digestive diseases, today announced that the company will participate at the 44th European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) Congress taking place September 3-6, 2022, in Vienna.
