SAIA Leadership partnered with St. Marks Hospital in UK & many other groups on a global Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) that followed James Lind Alliance methodologies to understand patient unmet needs surrounding perianal Crohn’s disease (pCD). Tina, Dr. Parakkal Deepak (US), Dr. Shaji Sebastian (UK), and Dr. Vishal Sharma (India) all took part in identifying research priorities.

We’re committed to improving quality of life for patients with perianal Crohn’s disease, including fistula. Our goal is to further research on pCD in order to improve quality of life for patients suffering from this debilitating complication of Crohn’s.
