Celiac Disease Screening Symposium

Celiac Disease Screening Symposium: Toward implementation of population-based celiac disease screening: programs, partnerships and policy.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of current practices and future directions in celiac disease screening.

The annual screening symposium aims to achieve the following objectives:

  1. Review current data from ongoing global general population screening studies.

  2. Discuss the potential benefits, risks, and knowledge gaps associated with general population screening.

  3. Develop research priorities and a policy roadmap to advance celiac disease screening globally.

The annual celiac disease symposium, now in its third year, is organized by Sadie Nagle, Marisa Stahl, and Edwin Liu of Children’s Hospital Colorado. The symposium is intended to foster coalition-building and accelerate advancements in mass screening science.
