3.1 million Americans

LIVE WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect 1.3% of the population with 70,000 new cases diagnosed every year. IBD is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to an abnormal immune reaction to the normal bacteria found in the intestine.

We'll be presenting our work at DDW2023 on Monday @10:30am (Karen) and at AAI2023 (Natasha, Sara & Matt). Come say hello and learn what's new in gamma delta IEL biology. Otherwise, we'll all see you in Lisbon at the 10th gamma delta meeting!
