Resources for Researchers
One goal of the NIDDK IBDGC is to provide resources to the scientific community. Resources include biospecimens, genotype data, phenotype tools, and Consortium project applications .
Research conducted by the NIDDK IBDGC is a collaborative effort by the 6 Genetic Research Centers, as well as with members of the IBD and genetics communities. Any investigators interested in working with the Consortium should contact Yashoda Sharma, PhD, Project Administrator, IBDGC.
