Tuesday, March 2, 2021, 12:00 AM - Tuesday, February 28, 2023, 11:59 PM, Online


The “Pioneers in Medicine” interview podcast series will present short conversations with internationally recognized leaders, who care for patients at Cedars-Sinai, and will discuss advances in the field through path breaking research.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a set of complex processes that can impact all types of patients. Stephan Targan, MD, the Feintech Family Chair in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, calls it the interface between genetic predisposition, the overall environment and the microenvironment—the bacteria, virus and fungi in the gut. In a recent “Pioneers in Medicine” interview, host Bruce L. Gewertz, MD, Surgeon-In-Chief, H&S Nichols Distinguished Chair in Surgery and Vice Dean, Academic Affairs, asks Targan to explain the recent shift to more aggressive treatment plans and how new therapies promote precision medicine, driving positive outcomes for each unique individual.
