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.

In a preprint available on bioRxiv, we show multiple layers of dysregulation within the gamma delta IEL compartment prior to the onset of Crohn's disease-like ileitis suggesting that altered gamma delta IEL biology may be a useful biomarker for disease relapse or response to therapy.
