Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscript to the Journal of Clinical Medicine for consideration for a Special Issue entitled “Clinical Research and Personalized Medicine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease".
Over the last several decades, advances in clinical research, immunology, and precision medicine have transformed our understanding of the pathogenesis of IBD, leading to more targeted and individualized treatment approaches. However, despite this progress, many questions remain unanswered regarding disease progression, therapeutic responses, and patient-specific factors influencing outcomes.
This Special Issue, “Clinical Research and Personalized Medicine in Inflammatory Bowel Disease”, will provide a comprehensive platform for innovative research aimed at improving our ability to tailor treatments to individual patients. With the rise in genomics, microbiome analysis, and artificial intelligence in healthcare, we are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of IBD management. This Special Issue will explore novel diagnostic tools, predictive biomarkers, patient stratification strategies, and innovative therapeutic interventions, bridging the gap between research and clinical applications.
We invite original research articles and reviews that contribute to this growing field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advances in the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying IBD;
- The role of the gut microbiome in disease progression and therapy response;
- Biomarker-driven approaches to personalized treatment strategies;
- Machine learning and AI applications in predicting treatment outcomes;
- Novel biologics, small molecules, and combination therapies for IBD;
- Patient-reported outcomes and real-world data in personalized medicine.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and advancing the science behind personalized medicine in IBD together.
