A @WEHI_research study co-led by Innovator Award grantee Dr. James Murphy has introduced new methods for locating cell death in #IBD patients. We’re proud to support research like this that could lead to better diagnosis and personalized treatments. https://t.co/0PDa6MCeZV

By far the most important strategy in Crohn’s disease is to start an effective therapy early. It matters less which it is.
My approach to Crohn's disease drug therapy Plenty of nuance in here - a UK perspective where cost is an important factor How does this change in your practice?

One of the great challenges in digestive disease is bringing complex data together for example, the ‘transmural revolution’ currently underway in #ibd with #IUS, endoscopy. Entrolytics brings this data together in research but from today is FDA registered for clinical use!
📢EntrolyticsMD, the world's first imaging platform for digestive diseases has been listed with the FDA. 🔗: https://t.co/EQi3KzuuWP

What a compelling talk by Dr Kate Goodall about her early onset bowel cancer diagnosis, it’s management & the impact on her personal life & career. 👏 Important message about the stigma associated with rectal bleeding; the symptom that people don’t want to talk about. #AGW2023
