Conditions

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Keywords

cohort, BEV, intestinal dysbiosis

Brief summary

The objective of this study is to constitute cohorts of IBD versus non-IBD patients to identify (a) new biomarker(s) of intestinal dysbiosis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and develop a prototype for assaying such marker(s) in blood.

Interventions

Collection of biological samples from the same cohorts: faeces, serum, intestinal biopsies
