Dr. Fasano Speaks in Rochester

Dr. Alessio Fasano, regarded as one of the foremost authorities worldwide on Celiac Disease spoke to over 200 local and regional celiacs and dietitians at the RIT Inn and Conference Center on Saturday, March 1, 2008. Dr. Fasano is the Director of the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland Medical School. He led the pioneering epidemiological study on the "Prevalence of Celiac Disease in At-Risk and Not-At-Risk Groups in the United States"* which changed the preconception that Celiac Disease is a rare disorder in our Country.
