Individualized Treatments to Improve Your Quality of Life

We understand that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects people differently.

At the UPMC Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, we translate laboratory research findings into patient-focused therapies that:

  • address your individual health care needs
  • provide you with the greatest comfort possible

We have found that collaborative research and care lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life, such as:

  • reduced impact of IBD symptoms on daily life
  • fewer IBD complications, including disability
  • decreased hospitalizations and surgeries
  • lower susceptibility to cancer
