New Frontiers in Gut Health: Intestinal barrier, clinical multi-omics & AI to guide patient care

The intestinal barrier is a central regulator of gut health, influencing inflammation, immunity, and long-term outcomes in patients with IBD and related conditions. Advances in clinical multi-omics — integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiome data — now allow us to unravel complex barrier dysfunction at an unprecedented resolution. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool to interpret these vast datasets, link them with high-resolution imaging, and predict individual patient trajectories.

This webinar will:
• Highlight the latest insights into intestinal barrier structure and function in health and disease.
• Explore how multi-omics technologies reveal patient-specific molecular signatures of barrier dysfunction.
• Demonstrate how AI and machine learning models integrate imaging and omics to predict outcomes and personalise care.
• Discuss the future of precision gastroenterology, where advanced diagnostics and digital tools can guide early interventions and optimise patient journeys.
• Show how merging barrier biology, multi-omics, and AI can transform the care of patients with gastrointestinal disorders.
