Research Impact Stories

Discover the stories behind the research we’ve helped fund.

Since 1971, Guts UK has invested more than £16.5 million in over 450 research projects, funding research into the gut, liver and pancreas.

That research has helped us understand more about digestive conditions, including how the immune system affects liver disease, and finding ways to improve the diagnosis of microscopic colitis. Take a look at some of the impact below.

This work is only possible thanks to the generous donations and support from people like you. Thank you for helping us fund research that could make a real difference to people living with digestive conditions.
