As a global professional organisation, ISSCD actively supports, promotes, coordinates, disseminates, and where appropriate, provides funding and research opportunities for high‑quality scientific studies across the breadth of celiac‑related research.
Some of the ISSCD’s research priorities include, but are not limited to:
-
Gastroenterology and clinical science — investigating pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical outcomes.
-
Genetics and immunology — exploring genetic predisposition and immune mechanisms driving disease.
-
Nutrition, pediatrics, and psycho‑social science — examining dietary impacts, childhood disease dynamics, and quality of life.
-
Innovative trial design and biomarkers — enhancing clinical research infrastructure and standardising methodologies.
-
Epidemiology — understanding disease prevalence, patterns, and risk factors.
Support
ISSCD offers tailored support to researchers at all career stages:
-
Expert connections: If you need specialist guidance or collaboration on celiac disease research, the ISSCD can connect you with internationally recognised experts in the field.
-
Networking and research mentoring: Through ISSCD membership and committees, early‑career investigators and established scientists alike can access mentorship, professional networks, and collaborative opportunities.
-
Dissemination & visibility: Researchers are invited to share their published findings or insights with the ISSCD community through the society’s website, newsletters, and events helping broaden the impact of your work
Some examples of research categories we might be able to support with are:
Dissemination
If your research has recently been published or you have come across an interesting piece of research which you would like the ISSCD to share on its website, and/or you would like to write an opinion piece, please contact us.
