Message from Director

Director, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease

Welcome! We are excited that you’re here to learn more about the Stanford Medicine Children’s Health Center for IBD and Celiac Disease. We are immensely grateful for the extraordinary generosity and vision of an anonymous donor to support the creation of this unique interdisciplinary clinical and research center for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease. 

Uncontrolled intestinal inflammation at the root of IBD and celiac disease attack a child’s ability to enjoy and digest food. What should bring joy, comfort and vibrance, now brings pain, anxiety, and social isolation. Since food and nutrition are essential to how children socialize, grow and develop, IBD and celiac disease fundamentally disrupt their formative years. This urgent need drives our mission to integrate leading-edge clinical care and research to elevate the lives of all children with IBD and celiac disease. Our vision is to lead the transformation of care for children with these life-altering inflammatory digestive diseases.

Here you can learn how we are serving this mission by providing world class clinical care, supporting innovative research, and training the next generation of IBD and celiac disease clinicians and researchers. We invite you to meet our expert IBD and celiac disease physicians, explore ongoing clinical trials and research studies, learn about our Advanced IBD Fellowship Program, and see how we are catalyzing discovery by talented investigators across Stanford’s campus through our patient biorepository and intramural grants award programs. 

Please join us in this mission to elevate the lives of children with IBD and celiac disease. There are many ways to get involved: become a Center member, collaborate with Center investigators or clinicians, apply for a grant, or make a donation to support our research and care. We’d love to hear from you!

 

With a warm welcome,
