Around one in 400 people in the UK suffer from inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and the number of new cases is rising, especially among children. Our projects give hope to people facing a lifetime of pain and misery by improving our understanding of the causes of chronic conditions like IBD, arthritis, stroke, lung disease and incontinence.
