Faecal Microbiota Transplantation and Other Novel Therapeutic Microbial Manipulation Strategies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

There is growing interest in the role of microbial-based strategies including faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. This project will develop such strategies into valid treatment options through a combination of clinical & basic science work including (1) characterising viral & fungal factors of importance, (2) evaluation of novel orally-delivered formulations of FMT, and (3) development of better defined, more reproducible microbial treatments.
