IBD

The UKIBD Genetics Consortium (UKIBDGC) comprises clinicians and scientists with a track record of successful collaborative research in the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease. Our aims are to identify and understand the genes that determine disease susceptibility, course and response and side effects of treatment... The consortium has recruitment centres in Cambridge, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Exeter, Manchester, Oxford, London, Dundee and Nottingham. Together we have recruited nearly 15000 British patients with CD and UC to our studies. We work closely with our key collaborators, Jeff Barrett and Carl Anderson, at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (where a large part of the first human genome was sequenced). The UKIBDGC also forms a key part of the International IBD Genetics Consortium (IIBDGC), an international collaborative group which now comprises researchers from more than 20 different countries... Research into Chron's disease and Colitis. Our research team are working hard..
