We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Assistant/Associate to contribute/make a leading contribution to the project "Unravelling the role of the gut microbiome in perioperative outcomes and disease recurrence in surgical adults with Crohn’s disease treated with exclusive enteral nutrition”- The Mi-OCEAN study. The aim of the Mi-OCEAN study is to explore whether changes to the microbiome seen during 6-week EEN, and maintenance of these changes post-surgery, predict peri-operative outcomes and risk of disease recurrence, respectively, in adults with CD. The Mi-OCEAN is a mechanistic study impended within the OCEaN clinical trial which runs across the UK.
