Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBODI)

INFECTION, IMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT
TARGETS

Our objective is to understand the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease and to identify new therapeutic strategies for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis, along with complications derived from these diseases such as perianal fistules. Our group combines basic science with clinical studies for translational research with the aim of improving the quality of life of patients.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IMI), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is characterized by recurrent chronic intestinal inflammation. While the etiology of IIM persists to a great extent unknown, it implies a complex interaction between genetic, environmental or microbial factors and immune responses. A more in-depth knowledge of the pathophysiology of IIM may help to identify our therapeutic approaches to cure these maladies. Our group is especially interested in the relationship between the intestinal microbiota, the immunology and the mare adipose cells. The work in progress points out that the perilesional greix contributes to Crohn’s disease, and the translocation of intestinal bacteria that affect the perilesional greix and the interaction of the mare adipose cells and cells of the immune system in these maladies, ens allows to identify useful biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis or progression of malaltia.

  • Multi-omnic approach to the search for early predictive biomarkers of response to biological agents in Crohn’s disease.
  • Role of visceral fat in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • New insights into the therapeutic aspect of adipose stem cells: implications for future stem cell therapies in inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Interaction between cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • Host-microbiome interactions: molecular mechanisms in inflammatory bowel diseases.
