THE ROLE OF VIRUSES IN CELIAC DISEASE

Nearly a year ago, a team of researchers and physicians from the University of Chicago, under the supervision of Dr. Bana Jabri, our Center’s director of research, published a paper in the high impact journal Science, that received a great deal of acclaim and interest. The project was driven mainly by Romain Bouziat and Reinhard Hinterleitner, two post-doctoral researchers, along with the contribution of several lab members including Toufic Mayassi, Marlies Meisel, Sangman M. Kim and Valentina Discepolo, but also with the collaboration of other institutions, especially the group of Dr. Terence Dermody, expert pediatric virologist at Nashville, now at UPMC in Pittsburgh.
