IDIGH Programme en maladies infectieuses et immunité en santé mondiale de l'IR-CUSM/Infectious Diseases and Immunity in Global Health Program of the RI-MUHC

Quelle est la cause de la maladie de Crohn? Pourquoi réapparait-elle parfois après une chirurgie? Quelles découvertes pourraient aider à façonner l'avenir des soins de la maladie de Crohn et de la colite ulcéreuse?

Les bénéficiaires de nos subventions d’aide à la recherche de 2026 travaillent à répondre à ces questions et plus encore grâce à des projets de recherche innovants financés par Crohn et Colite Canada. Ensemble, ces projets ont reçu un financement total de 1,5 million de dollars.

Nous sommes fiers de soutenir le Dr Stephen Girardin de l'University of Toronto, Dr Sun-Ho Lee de Sinai Health, ainsi que le Dr Marcel Behr et le Dr Irah King de l'L'Institut de recherche du CUSM - Research Institute of the MUHC, dans leurs travaux de recherche sur la maladie de Crohn et la colite ulcéreuse.

We are pleased to invite you to our IDIGH Seminar tomorrow at 12:00 p.m., featuring Dr. Marissa Ledger!

Dr. Ledger is a Medical Microbiology Resident at McMaster University and a Clinician Investigator postdoctoral researcher. She completed her M.D. and Ph.D. in Biological Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, where her research focused on paleoparasitology and parasite infections in the Roman Empire.

Her work combines ancient DNA, microbiology, and anthropology to explore how human parasites have evolved and spread over time, offering fascinating insights into how climate, diet, human-animal interactions, and migration have shaped infectious diseases throughout history.

We hope you will join us!

🩺 Le test sanguin utilisé en première ligne passe à côté de plus du tiers des cas de fibrose hépatique significative chez les personnes vivant avec le VIH.

C'est ce que révèle une vaste étude internationale menée auprès de près de 5000 participants, publiée dans Hepatology par Felice Cinque, premier auteur et ancien stagiaire postdoctoral à L'Institut, et la Dre Giada Sebastiani, scientifique principale au sein du programme MIISM.

🔬 Leur solution : le score FIB-HIV, un outil qui intègre des facteurs métaboliques et propres au VIH pour mieux repérer les personnes à risque, à partir de données cliniques déjà recueillies en routine.

🩺 The first-line blood test misses more than one third of significant liver fibrosis cases in people living with HIV.

That is the finding of a large international study of nearly 5,000 participants, published in Hepatology by Felice Cinque, first author and former postdoctoral fellow at The Institute, and Dr. Giada Sebastiani, senior scientist in the IDIGH Program.

🔬 Their solution: the FIB-HIV score, a tool that incorporates metabolic and HIV-specific factors to better identify people at risk, using clinical data already collected in routine care.
