Research Profile
Dr. Mühlbauer’s overarching goal is to provide the best care available for patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), or IBD. Besides commercially available treatment options, the University of Florida participates in a variety of new and exciting clinical trials our patients can participate in. Dr. Mühlbauer also works very closely with UF’s cutting edge research labs to find a cure for IBD. Patients can support the development of potentially new treatments by allowing us to collect information from them in a clinical setting and provide extremely small tissue samples during their normally scheduled clinical procedures. Dr. Mühlbauer believes improving the education of physicians in training is of the utmost importance. At UF, we take pride in educating the next generation of IBD physicians so that they can provide the best care to patients suffering from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis in the future.
