Meet Dr. David Binion!

Send us Fan MailThis week we had the absolute pleasure to talk to Dr. David Binion! Dr. Binion is a physician-scientist who is also living with Crohn's disease. He is Co-Director of the IBD Center at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He was diagnosed with Crohn's when he was a teenager- before the information age and also before there were many treatment for IBD. He has devoted his career to analyzing "Big Data" to figure out how to predict disease outcomes, prognosis and flares. We talked to him about his longitudinal research, what he's learned, and how that's given him hope as an IBD patient. We talked to him about what he's seeing in reclassifying IBD into more subcategories and what that will mean for more effective treatment and also what he sees on the horizon for IBD research. We enjoyed getting to know Dr. Binion so much and know that you'll find this conversation as interesting and hopeful as we did!Please keep in mind that the views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and should not be considered medical or legal advice.
