๐งฌWe are excited to have launched a new study on inflammatory bowel disease in Armenia.
The study explores how changes in the gut lining, the gut microbiome and the immune system are connected. Our goal is to identify early biomarkers that could help predict a flare before symptoms become severe.
Inflammatory bowel disease often comes in waves, with quiet periods followed by sudden flares. Today, there is no reliable way to know when a flare is approaching.
๐ฌTo understand what changes before a flare, rather than only during one, we will follow participants over time. They will provide blood and stool samples every ten weeks for two years.
The aim is to detect early warning signs through blood and stool samples rather than invasive tests.
To manage the collection, laboratory processing and results of hundreds of samples, we have also developed a dedicated web app. It follows each sample from collection through laboratory testing and back to the participant's results.
๐คThe study is a collaborative effort:
๐นClinicians recruit and follow the participants
๐นBlood tests are performed at Vardanants Medical Center
๐นFecal calprotectin tests are performed at Prom-Test Laboratories
๐นDNA isolation and sequencing are performed at the Institute of Molecular Biology
๐นData management is performed at the Armenian Bioinformatics Institute
Special thanks to "Vardanants" Medical Center and Masis Vardanyan for conducting the laboratory blood tests throughout the study and for supporting the program.
Most importantly, we thank the patients taking part. By participating, they support research into better ways of monitoring inflammatory bowel disease while receiving regular test results throughout the study.
The project receives funding from a Lab Consolidator Grant from the Higher Education and Science Committee.
