Our group have studied whether stool #calprotectin vs. #QFIT (that can detect blood used as screening for bowel cancer) to monitor #IBD . 💩

We are looking for the 'patient voice' in our study, so very grateful for your time, share and RT!

What happens if we let our patients take the lead in an IBD project?

Result: A 100% patient-led paper on, 'What it means to live with IBD'

Produced 100% by patients.

With no input from analytical tools, clinicians, KOLs and pharma input.

Great effort by Duncan at ECCO meeting, Berlin. In UC gut stem cells, not only is there mitochondrial dysfunction (power failure) but loss of ketogenesis (backup power) is the critical tipping point. #mitochondria #ketogenic #ECCO2025 #colitis #stemcells #ibd Proud supervisor
