Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis unfortunately are still not fully understood. The Brigham and Women's Crohn's and Colitis Center has a team of leading physicians and expert scientists who are actively investigating critical questions : what causes IBD, and how can we optimize treatment for each individual? We have various research focuses and multiple clinical trials underway.
Patients with IBD play a critical role in helping us increase our understanding of IBD, and there are many ways you can help. Consider allowing us to collect some extra blood for research, answering a survey about your health, or maybe even participating in a clinical trial.
If you are interested in learning more about specific studies, please speak with your gastroenterologist or contact the research team at crohnsandcolitis@bwh.harvard.edu
All active clinical trials can be found at www.AllegrettiLab.com.
