The Beyond Celiac Research Summit was an event packed with groundbreaking celiac disease research presentations and expert panels about exciting advancements in the field.
In the morning sessions, Beyond Celiac-funded scientists presented their latest research findings, aimed at a scientific audience. In the afternoon sessions, Beyond Celiac-funded scientists discussed what their research means for the celiac disease community. Throughout it all, audience members, including patients, caregivers, and fellow researchers, took advantage of the opportunity to ask these academics some amazing questions.
We are grateful to all who attended!
