The Footprints Program with Arielle Radin of Gali Health

What's in your microbiome and how does it interact with your IBD? The bacteria that's in the gut of someone that lives with IBD is different from the bacteria in the the gut of someone that doesn't have IBD. This is a major area of study because it may help researchers not only in developing new treatments but also in better understanding IBD. That's why I asked Arielle Radin, Director of Clinical Research for Gali Health, to talk to me about the Footprints Program. The Footprints Program is an ambitious research project that is going to sequence poop and saliva from IBD patients. It's being used in conjunction with the Gali Health app, which is made especially for IBD patients to track their symptoms and connect with other people who live with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Participants in the Footprints Program will get access to some information about their microbiome. They can then look at the changes over time and see if there are any trends with the symptoms that are kept in the Gali app. It sounds pretty amazing, which is why I signed up for the program. Arielle Radin, who answers my questions about Gali Health and the Footprints Program, and on a personal note, tells us about getting married during the pandemic.
