Celiac Disease Research - Mouse Model

Bana Jabri, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Research at the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, one of the world's leading celiac disease researchers, has developed a new mouse model with the goal of identifying new remedies and preventive treatments aimed at children of families with celiac  disease  history.  The studies  will  also  shed  new  light  on  events  triggering the development of Type‐1 diabetes. 

Dr. Jabri believes it is essential to create a mouse model of celiac disease to better understand the chain of events leading to celiac disease, its link to autoimmune diseases, and provide sustainable funds to continue programming for many years to come.
