We’re expanding on what is currently possible when it comes to treating digestive inflammatory diseases. As a part of Stanford University and Stanford Medicine, we’ve deeply embedded transformative bench-to-bedside research within our care, bringing your child state-of-the-art care options supported by the most recent research. Currently, we are exploring epithelial biology to gain insights into the vital tissue that lines the intestines, studying the connection between your child’s gut microbiome and immunology, and building a biorepository of patient samples to learn how biology and genes work together to cause or prevent disease. We welcome patients to participate in our clinical trials.
