  • Professionals in the clinic. Text on photo: The clinical part of the project involves the gastroenterology departments at Levanger Hospital, Molde Hospital and St. Olav's Hospital, in addition to the Children's and Adolescents' Clinic at St. Olav's Hospital.

  • Researcher at work illustrations. Text on photo: Our research nurses bridge the clinic and thelab, supporting patients while ensuring that every sample and every step meets the highest scientific standards.

  • Researcher in lab. Text on photo: We have established a well-controlled, longitudinal biobank for IBD research aimed at clarifying prognostic factors, predicting treatment response and understanding disease mechanisms.

  • Personnel in lab. Text on photo: We study how the intestinal epithelium shapes inflammation in IBD, using patient-derived epithelial organoids to model disease at the cellular level.

  • Researcher looking into microscope. Text on photo: Through molecular pathology, we examine patient biopsies at cellular resolution to reveal how inflammation alters the intestinal mucosa.

  • Organoids enlarged. Text on photo: Intestinal epithelial organoids derived from a IBD-patient IBD-patient Intestinal mucosa.

Introduction

CAG-IBD is a Clinical Academic Group (CAG) aiming to unify research on inflammatory bowel disease and development of clinical skills across university, hospitals and clinical departments, and groups of healthcare workers in Central Norway.
