Congratulations to Professor Ailsa Hart, IBD Research Lead at St Mark’s. 🌟 At ECCO 2025, Professor Hart presented the latest results of SC guselkumab for moderate to severe active Crohn’s disease at the prestigious Saturday plenary session. Following this, she was awarded the ECCO Global Grant on behalf of a global team of researchers to advance perianal Crohn’s disease research worldwide — a remarkable achievement driving innovation in IBD care. A fantastic recognition of her dedication to improving patient outcomes! 🙌🏻

Albeit retrospective, an important reassuring data on safety of GLP1s weight reduction in IBD. I tell my pts that Obesity associated HTN/diabetes/hyperlipedmia end up killing far more IBD pts than (fortunately very very rare now) death d/t IBD itself. This is whats at stake !

Thank you for these kind words Steven. Wonderful to be here! 🇦🇺 🤝 🇬🇧
I normally switch off when I see a basic science slide but @NickPowellLab now got me fascinated by IL22! I wish all translational researchers could present concepts so clearly for simple clinical people like me 🤯 @AGWmeeting #AGW2024 #AGW24

Thank you Kate! And thank you for putting together a wonderful tour of the wineries of the Adelaide Hills! Beautiful country and wonderful wine! 🍇 🍷 😊 👏
Masterful Bushell Lecture by @NickPowellLab on his IBD mucosal immunology research - specifically, looking at IL-22 and its role in IBD - predicts response to ustekinumab, unregulates neutrophil attracting chemokines, among others. #AGW2024
