Natural Plant Products in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Preventative and Therapeutic Potential organizes almost all evidence to understand which natural plant products are 1. in the first steps of investigation, 2. have strong pre-clinical evidence of their beneficial effects, and/or 3. have been tested in clinical trials on inflammatory bowel diseases. In addition to providing information regarding the research with natural plant products, this reference material will also highlight the molecular mechanisms behind their effects on inflammatory bowel diseases, with the aid of dynamic figures and tables. Compiled from research group members from different parts of the world and specialized in inflammatory bowel diseases and/or related topics, this book will be useful to health professionals, professors, and industry managers as it will provide helpful and updated information on natural plant products, with the potential to inspire health care, relevant research, and product innovation.

More than 10 years of experience with animal experimentation. Roberto's research has been mainly focused on natural plant products against inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer, with special attention to the potential benefits of native Brazilian fruits. Acts mainly on the following themes: animal models, native Brazilian berries, bioactive compounds, inflammatory bowel diseases, and colorectal cancer. More than 10 years of experience with the manipulation of natural plant products and extracts. Acts mainly on the following themes: processes with pressurized fluids, extraction and encapsulation of bioactive compounds, use of agro-industrial residues, and preventive and complementary therapies for inflammatory bowel diseases. In 2017, she obtained a postdoctoral contract (Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain) at the Universidad de Granada (UGR). Postdoctoral stay at the Gentofte Regional Hospital in Copenhagen (Denmark, 2019). Throughout her research career, she has participated in numerous national and international research projects, being investigator principal and coordinator of two of them. Awards: Best Thesis in the 2015 "Modesto Laza Palacios" from the Illustrious Association of Pharmacists of Malaga and Extraordinary Doctoral Award in health sciences area, granted by the Universidad de Granada (2018). Currently, she is an assistant professor at Universidad de Granada and her research has mainly focused on the study of the potential therapeutic effects of different compounds (probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, or plant extracts), as well as the search for new biomarkers and targets that can improve the diagnosis and prognosis of several inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases. Currently is an Associate Professor at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Coloproctology.
