Infant Nutrition and Risk of Celiac Disease: Proposal for an Intervention, Prospective, Multicenter Study

The Center is working to develop a major intervention study in neonates aimed at establishing whether the timing of gluten introduction in the diet of infants, genetically at risk for celiac disease, may affect the chance to develop the disease.

Research Internships
CFCR Summer Internship Program

Internships are on a full time volunteer basis and are 6 to 8 weeks in length. The dates of the internships are general between June 1st and August 31st, but may be adjusted according to educational schedules. The number of internship slots available will vary from year to year and it is dependent on current projects and number of employees who are able to take a summer intern. Interns are assigned a project to work on according to their education level, interest and the current projects.

Most of the past interns have been students interested in becoming physicians, but other areas have included: Bio-Technology, Medical Technology, Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy. Past students have come from a very diverse background ranging from high school* to post graduate. Most of the students have been local but we have students from other areas of the USA, Spain, France and Italy.

We have two labs:
