IRR Discovery Series

Our Discovery Series from across the Institute for Regeneration and Repair (IRR), including CIR, tells the story of research discoveries making an important contribution to the science of tissue and inflammation in the body.

Episode 1: Dr Thomas Fenton

Dr Thomas Fenton, Visiting Scientist at the Centre for Inflammation Research (CIR), discusses a method he has developed which will give researchers a new way to analyse the intestinal immune system. Co-Lead for the Gut Research Unit at CIR, Dr Gwo-tzer Ho, also reflects on the discovery. The Gut Research Unit specialises in increasing understanding and treatment options for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
