Research focus

Based on the provided publications, the research focus appears to be on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), specifically Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. The studies address various aspects such as comparing treatments (e.g., tofacitinib vs. ustekinumab), assessing remission through non-invasive methods, and evaluating regulatory guidance for JAK inhibitors. The research also explores the use of biologics and other therapies in managing IBD, including switching between different treatment forms. This indicates a strong emphasis on optimizing treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in IBD. 🌟📚💊
