Inflammatory Bowel Disease and personalized medicine
Service Overview
At Gut-Research, we are at the forefront of research into Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Our work focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of these chronic inflammatory diseases and developing personalized therapeutic approaches. By utilizing advanced research techniques and clinical trials, we aim to provide targeted treatments that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
Our research group has pioneered key advancements in IBD treatment, including the introduction of anti-TNF therapy for Crohn’s disease, which was a breakthrough in the management of this debilitating condition. Today, we continue to lead research into new biological therapies and personalized medicine.
Our Capabilities
Gut-Research provides a wide array of services designed to support the study and treatment of IBD. Our advanced research methods and expertise allow us to deliver personalized therapeutic solutions and cutting-edge research insights. Key capabilities include:
Pathogenesis research and personalized treatment development: We utilize a variety of models to study the mechanisms driving IBD, including single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and in vitro and in vivo models. This enables us to explore the genetic and biological factors contributing to the disease and develop personalized treatments based on patient-specific profiles.
Clinical trials for biological therapies: We play a critical role in coordinating phase I and II clinical trials that evaluate new biological therapies for IBD. Our research group collaborates closely with the clinical IBD group at Amsterdam UMC, ensuring that the latest therapies are tested and translated into real-world applications.
Biomarker development for precision medicine: Through projects like Methylomic, we are working on developing biomarkers that can predict a patient’s response to treatment, allowing for a more personalized approach to IBD management. This epigenetic biomarker tool helps optimize the use of biological therapies, ensuring more effective and efficient treatments.
Our research into IBD and personalized medicine is deeply rooted in understanding the disease’s pathogenesis and translating this knowledge into practical, patient-focused treatments. By integrating biological data, clinical trials, and biomarker development, we aim to revolutionize how IBD is treated.
Funded by Horizon Europe, the Methylomic project focuses on developing an epigenetic biomarker tool to identify the best treatments for IBD patients. By leveraging DNA methylomics and machine learning technologies, the project aims to make precision medicine a reality for Crohn’s disease. Learn more at Methylomic.
This project focuses on identifying biomarker profiles that predict treatment response in perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease. Our research aims to enable precision medicine approaches to improve care for patients with this severe form of IBD. More information can be found at AMFIBIO.
Led by Andrew Li Yim, this trial is part of our effort to understand the epigenetic aspects of IBD, aiming to uncover new therapeutic targets and refine treatment options for Crohn’s disease. For more details, visit OMICROHN Trial.
