The GEM Project is an international research study attempting to determine possible causes for Crohn’s Disease by following healthy individuals who are at a higher risk for developing the disease over time.

The study is hoping to encourage healthy individuals who have a sibling and/or parent with Crohn’s Disease to join the effort and help find a cause. It is an international study that hopes to recruit up to 4000 patients.
