Virtual Town Hall: New Insights into How Gluten Causes Damage

Beyond Celiac is sponsoring a virtual town hall on Nov 29 at 2pm:

Join us for an informative discussion with Arnold Han, MD PhD, of Columbia University. Dr. Han was awarded the 2022 Beyond Celiac and SSCD Early Career Investigator Grant to investigate the role of CD8 T-cells in celiac disease. We will go into what he’s discovered so far through this research and where he hopes to go in the future! Dr. Han’s innovative research has found more precise ways that gluten sets off damage to the intestine in those who have celiac disease and could help in the development of innovative approaches to finding a treatment. Don’t miss out on this important event sponsored by our friends at Crunchmaster Crackers!
