EMJ Podcast | Quickfire & Deep Dive
In this series, host Saranya Ravindran speaks with Nuru Noor about the evolving landscape of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research and treatment. From rethinking early intervention in Crohn’s disease to exploring biomarkers and precision medicine, the series examines how clinicians can make more personalised treatment decisions. Across three deep dives, Noor discusses the challenges of translating biological discoveries into clinical practice, the growing complexity of treatment options, and how clinical trial design can better reflect the questions that matter to patients and clinicians. Looking ahead, the series considers the innovations that could fundamentally change how IBD is researched and managed.
