The Oxford Gastroenterology Unit is acknowledged as one of the premier units for clinical care and research in Europe and has attracted clinical and research fellows from all over the world. The unit has a particular reputation for the clinical care of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease patients as well as in the management of coeliac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, nutritional support and intestinal failure, cancer, autoimmune liver disease and viral hepatitis. In addition we perform clinical trials of novel therapies for gastrointestinal and liver diseases.

We have recently established the Translational Gastroenterology Unit which is situated in the John Radcliffe hospital and headed by Professor Fiona Powrie, a mucosal immunologist. The Unit builds on excellent clinical programmes in inflammatory bowel disease and hepatology as well as cutting edge basic science programmes in mucosal immunology. The new state of the art laboratories are in close proximity to clinical gastroenterology and bring together scientists, clinician scientists and gastroenterologists with the objective of translating fundamental research in mucosal immunology into enhanced treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease and cancer.
