New and emerging therapies for gluten-related conditions

Presented by Dr. Jocelyn Silvester, ​Celiac Disease Research Program, Harvard Medical School, Boston Children’s Hospital

If there was a magical pill to allow people with celiac disease to eat gluten, would you take it? To help families better understand current drug therapies under development for celiac disease, Dr. Jocelyn Silvester from the Celiac Disease Research Program at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital breaks down the research and explains how the therapies would work and the timeframe for release on the market. Dr. Silvester also touches on research to develop tools to better measure adherence to the gluten-free diet. This presentation took place at the 2017 Washington DC Gluten-Free Education on Sunday June 12, 2017.
