1. Mucosal and Microbiota Changes During Acute Campylobacteriosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   Gastrointestinal (GI) infection with Campylobacter causes inflammation in the bowel and can change bacteria in the gut. Certain individuals with Campylobacter infection are also known to develop chronic bowel problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The researchers are doing this study to understand if changes in gut bacteria and gut mucosal lining during an acute infection can help identify individuals who might be at risk for developing problems in the future.

2. Cohort of Patients With Fatty Liver Disease

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this research is to create a registry of patients having or at risk for metabolic liver disease for investigations into the molecular pathogenesis of cirrhosis, liver cancer, and end-stage liver disease.

3. A Bio-bank for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Associated Neoplasia

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect blood and stool samples to validate and improve the performance of stool and blood DNA markers for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal neoplasia critical to the long-term goal of improving effectiveness of neoplasia detection in patients using non-invasive biomarkers to assist colonoscopy and radiographic screening.
