The Gastroenterology Hub consists of a multidisciplinary network of research laboratories at Rambam Health Care Campus that explore the complex interactions between the gut, microbiome, nutrition, immune system, and chronic diseases. Research within the hub focuses on uncovering how changes in the gut microbiota contribute to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), fibromyalgia, metabolic disorders, and gastrointestinal infections.
The Gastroenterology Hub consists of a multidisciplinary network of research laboratories at Rambam Health Care Campus that explore the complex interactions between the gut, microbiome, nutrition, immune system, and chronic diseases. Research within the hub focuses on uncovering how changes in the gut microbiota contribute to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), fibromyalgia, metabolic disorders, and gastrointestinal infections.
By integrating clinical nutrition, pain research, and advanced microbial profiling, the hub aims to better understand disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets within the gut ecosystem. Key research areas include microbiome-driven diagnostics, the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as a treatment strategy, and the development of personalized interventions based on microbiota composition and function. The hub leverages tools such as genomic sequencing, metabolomics, and psychophysical assessments to link microbial imbalances with disease states and patient-reported outcomes.
With its translational approach and strong clinical foundation, the Gastroenterology Hub bridges laboratory discoveries with innovative treatments that have the potential to transform patient care in gastroenterology and beyond.
