Cedars-Sinai is committed to pushing the frontiers of medicine and discovering new technologies and innovations that will change how we diagnose and treat disease. As an international leader in biomedical research, we translate discoveries into successful treatments with global impact. With your help, we can change the future of healthcare!

The Inflammatory Bowel and Immunobiology Research Institute (IBIRI) is a multidisciplinary basic, translational and clinical research program devoted to discovering the causes of inflammatory bowel disease with the goal of improved treatment approaches and prevention. Under the direction of Stephan R. Targan, MD, the institute is based on an integrated science model and is the overarching administrative structure of 10 distinct yet highly interactive components. A dedicated group of doctors, surgeons, investigators and physician-scientists works together to advance our understanding of, and treatments for, the full spectrum of inflammatory bowel diseases.
