Research interests

Dr. Tremelling's research aims to understand the molecular basis of inflammator bowel diseases (Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). Previous work has identified numerous genes which increase susceptibility to these conditions. Current work along with researchers at the University of East Anglia and Institute for Food Research aims to identify how these genes influence susceptibility.
Dr. Tremelling is also actively involved in clinical trials of new therapies for these conditions.

Personal interests

Dr. Tremelling has four children. He is an enthusiastic road cyclist.
