The data is clear: inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s are on the rise worldwide.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Amy Lightner (@AmyLightnerMD)—VP of Clinical Development at Calibr-Skaggs and colorectal surgeon at Scripps Clinic—to explore what drives these diseases, an upcoming phase 2 clinical trial for a new regenerative medicine, and how she balances life between the operating room and the research lab.

🎧 What’s next for IBD care: Insights from a surgeon-scientist is now streaming on the Science Changing Life podcast.
