Award for genetic research on Inflammatory Bowel Disease focusing on gene mapping and population subsets, led by Steven R Brant at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences.
Description
The project focuses on genetic research related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The research involves genetic mapping, phenotype analysis, and immune disease association studies. The project aims to uncover genetic variations contributing to IBD in African-American and Hispanic/LatinX populations and involves collaboration with multiple genetics research centers and data analysis of genome-wide association studies.
