With the shrinking government support of medical research and the absence of pharmaceutical research in celiac disease, the contributions of private philanthropy have made the difference in research for gluten-related disorders. It is only through research that medical advances are made.
Contributions to the Center have funded recruitment of new clinical and research faculty. This has enabled us to continue providing expert care to patients with gluten-related disorders and to maintain an impressive research output as documented in the list of publications on the Center’s website. Our publications reflect the tremendous variety of research interest into gluten-related disorders.
