Our very own Dr. @pujakhannamd.bsky.social joined @connectingtocure.bsky.social's live podcast event 'A Body Owner's Guide to IBD' on May 16th. An incredible evening of education, advocacy, & community. So proud of Dr. Khanna for sharing her expertise & time with the #IBD community!

A well-deserved recognition for Dr. Maria Abreu ❤️ Our Executive Director has been named one of Becker's 5 GI Power Players, spotlighting her nearly 300 peer-reviewed publications and her leadership in advancing IBD research and care nationwide. We are so proud to have her leading our Institute.

Dr. Felix Zhou representing Cedars-Sinai and presenting outcomes from our IBD Prehabilitation Program at #DDW2026— fewer complications, fewer readmissions, and lower costs after surgery. We couldn't be prouder 👏 #IBD #CrohnsDisease #UlerativeColitis #GIHealth

Exciting data for hard-to-treat IBD 💙 Phase 2b results from the DUET-UC trial show a dual-antibody therapy targeting both IL-23 and TNF outperformed either drug alone in patients with refractory ulcerative colitis — presented by our own Dr. Maria Abreu at DDW 2026. #IBD #UlcerativeColitis #DDW2026

Exciting work by Dr. Robert Barrett showing that Paneth cells can be enriched in iPSC-derived human intestinal organoids and are responsive to cytokines/microbes/metabolites. This now permits investigations into how this specialized intestinal epithelial subtype plays a role in IBD. #IBD #GIHealth

Living with IBD means listening to your body. At the Cedars-Sinai IBD Center, we believe: You know your body best. We want every woman to know - you should never feel dismissed, minimized, or unheard. Because your symptoms are real. Your instincts matter. Your body is telling an important story.

Today is World IBD Day 💜 IBD affects millions of people worldwide, and our team at Cedars-Sinai is honored to care for this community every day. Watch as Dr. Melmed explains what IBD is and why awareness matters. #WorldIBDDay #IBD #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis
