Jason Tye-Din
Dr Jason Tye-Din heads the coeliac research program at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and is a consultant gastroenterologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Jason completed his medical degree at Melbourne University in 1995 and undertook clinical training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. A PhD at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute sparked an interest in research, immunology, and food-related disease, and enabled him to undertake studies into the immunologic basis of gluten toxicity in human coeliac volunteers. This research formed the basis for the design of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for coeliac disease now in clinical trials. Jason chairs the Medical Advisory Committee of Coeliac Australia and supports initiatives to raise awareness of this increasingly prevalent autoimmune illness. He is a consultant to ImmusanT Inc., the biotech company developing the 'coeliac vaccine'.
