For 26 years, the J.A. Campbell Research Fund has supported groundbreaking research that advances our understanding of celiac disease and improves the lives of those living with it. Named in honour of Dr. James A. Campbell, a pioneer in nutrition science and a champion for Canada's gluten-free community, the fund continues to drive innovation through the next generation of researchers.

In this episode, host Caleigh McAulay speaks with the recipients of the 2026 J.A. Campbell Research Awards. Together, they explore promising new research on blood-based diagnostics for celiac disease, the impact of food insecurity on gluten-free diet adherence, mental health, and health outcomes among children, youth, and adolescents living with celiac disease.

Join us as we celebrate Dr. Campbell's legacy and discover how today's researchers are shaping the future of celiac disease care.
