  The Celiac Sprue Research Foundation is a science-driven public charity that seeks to improve the quality of life of Celiac Sprue patients by promoting research and development, and by enhancing awareness of the disease among scientists, healthcare professionals, consumer product manufacturers and the general public. Its primary goal is to translate emerging knowledge about Celiac Sprue pathogenesis into a comprehensive plan for developing a drug program. Once the Foundation's initial drug development strategy has been launched, it will use available resources to promote basic research that might lead to fundamentally new insights into the disease, and to improve technologies for detecting new patients of this seriously under-diagnosed disease.
