Llach Vila, Josep
The research group on inflammatory bowel diseases at Hospital Clínic de
Piqu Badia, Josep Ma
Salas Martnez, Azucena
Barcelona concentrates research activities on aspects of pathophysiology,

diagnosis and therapy of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Research on
disease pathophysiology is oriented to discovering aspects that may have a

direct therapeutic value. Thus, projects are directed to characterization of
differential patterns of immune response in early and late CD that may help 13
20
personalize treatments based on immune characteristics, and the identifi- T
R
cation of molecular factors that maintain remission in these inflammatory PO
disorders. In the area of diagnostics the group is leading initiatives on the E
L R
use of magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of inflammatory lesions in A
NU
the intestine, and in the area of therapeutics the main focus of the group is N
the development of innovative forms of cell therapy for human IBD including A
/
the use of hematopoietic stem cells in a program of transplant for refractory HD
Crohn’s disease, tolerogenic dendritic cells, and epithelial stem cells.
