Los frentes de la investigación en gastroenterología
Los investigadores de Mayo Clinic buscan constantemente nuevas formas de mejorar la atención de los pacientes, por ejemplo, al realizar investigaciones sobre el microbioma intestinal.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds numerous gastroenterology research projects at Mayo Clinic. NIH cooperation helps create an environment for cutting-edge research in which Mayo Clinic's scientists and physicians produce original research articles that are published in numerous peer-reviewed journals. Research conducted at Mayo Clinic has produced new treatments of liver disease, new technology to identify and treat irritable bowel syndrome and other motility disorders, and a new generation of endoscopes to perform incision-free procedures.
