From the Experts: Join Our Virtual Monthly Meeting on “All Things Celiac”

“Living with COVID-19: Celiac Disease, Autoimmunity & Hyperinflammation”

Join the National Celiac Association (NCA) and the Harvard Medical School Celiac Research Program for the second webinar in our Spring 2022 “All Things Celiac” series. Speakers will present on selected topics for 60 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for Q&A, on Wednesday, March 23, 2002 at 1pm ET.

Will the pandemic ever end? And what are the long-term effects (if any) for someone living with celiac disease or another autoimmune disorder? What COVID-19 treatments are safe for people with celiac disease and are all masks safe for people with gluten-related disorders? Join two expert authors and clinicians with decades of experience for answers to new questions about COVID-19, celiac disease and autoimmunity: Alessio Fasano, MD, Director of the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts; and Dr. Steven Plogsted, BS, PharmD, BCNSP, CNSC, FASPEN, Clinical Pharmacy Specialist (retired) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Lee Graham, executive director of the NCA, will introduce the webinar, and Dan Leffler, MD, MS, a gastroenterologist and co-founder of the Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, will moderate the session. A Q&A session will follow the presentations; please submit general questions below or during the webinar on the Zoom platform.
