Welcome to the next edition of our “GENEGUT: Behind the Scenes” series — where we spotlight the passionate teams driving innovation across the GENEGUT project. Today, we introduce CarboHyde, based in Budapest, Hungary.

Our improved 3D model plays a big role in the GENEGUT project as a testing platform to check if the new nano-based treatments we’re developing are safe and effective in IBD treatment.

Welcome to the next edition of our “GENEGUT: Behind the Scenes” series — where we spotlight the passionate teams driving innovation across the GENEGUT project. Today, we introduce i3S – Institute of Science and Innovation in Health, based in Porto, Portugal.

To mark World IBD Day 2025, the GENEGUT project is proud to share a special interview featuring voices from across the IBD community. This year’s campaign, “IBD Has No Borders: Breaking Taboos, Talking About It”, launched by EFCCA, GENEGUT’s project partner, shines a spotlight on the ongoing stigma and silence that many people living with IBD still face today.

Our recent review explored the state of the art in smart capsule design, from power supplies and release mechanisms to localisation strategies and future materials. While hurdles remain, ongoing innovation is rapidly bringing this technology closer to real-world application.

While not part of the GENEGUT project itself, a recent publication by researchers from University College Cork (UCC) — a GENEGUT project coordinator — closely aligns with GENEGUT’s mission to explore the role of the gut in chronic disease and innovate therapeutic strategies.
