Research

Mayo Clinic has made important contributions to the treatment of IBD over the years, including pioneering ileoanal anastomosis (J-pouch surgery) and laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis.

Mayo Clinic researchers conducted the first clinical study of mesalamine and discovered that genetic differences significantly affected the way patients metabolized this widely used IBD medicine as well as the IBD drugs azathioprine and mercaptopurine.

Mayo Clinic's inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) serum and tissue biobank involves all Mayo Clinic campuses. Research into serological and genetic markers may lead to individualized diagnosis and treatment.

Researchers in the Enteric Neuroscience Program on each of the Mayo Clinic campuses investigate the biology of the neuromuscular system of the gastrointestinal tract. They are conducting numerous clinical trials related to IBD and other conditions.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
