Center for Celiac Research (CFCR) Director
Mucosal Biology Research Center (MBRC) Director
Professor of Pediatric Medicine
College of Physicians & Surgeons
University of Maryland, Baltimore MD
Dr. Fasano established the Center for Celiac Research (CFCR) at The University of Maryland in 1996 and it
was the first celiac center opened in the United States.  Dr. Fasano is a recognized expert on celiac disease
and a leading researcher in the United States.  It was Dr. Fasano's study that proved one in every 133
Amercians have celiac disease and was the catalyst for the current awareness in Celiac Disease we are
seeing today in America!

CCFR engages in Celiac Disease clinical care, diagnostic support, education, and research.  The goal of
CFCR is to increase the awareness of Celiac Disease in order to provide better care, better quality of life and
more adequate support for the Celiac Disease community.

CFCR is also engaged in many research efforts, such as epidemiology, basic and clinical.  Epidemiology
research to establish the prevalence of the disease worldwide. Basic research (pathophysiology,
autoimmune mechanisms, inflammatory processes, genetics). Clinical research (clinical spectrum of Celiac
Disease, association with other autoimmune diseases, complications including infertility, osteoporosis and
malignant transformation).
