Dr James Daveson
About
Dr James Daveson is the Director of the Coeliac Disease and Immune Health Research Program at Wesley Research Institute. Dr Daveson is a gastroenterologist with a sub-specialty interest in coeliac disease, with a large patient cohort and strong mature links to coeliac disease support groups.
Over the last 15 years, he has developed an expertise in studies widely recognised as fundamental to the current generation of immune therapies for coeliac disease. His expertise arises from overseeing a large patient cohort in specialised clinics across two sites both in metropolitan and regional Queensland, as well as the Coral Sea Clinical Research Institute.
Dr Daveson completed his medical degree at the University of Queensland and physician training at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Princess Alexandra Hospital. He is an adult gastroenterologist with expertise in luminal gastroenterology, including coeliac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, with an impressive and growing track record as a clinician-researcher in the coeliac disease field. His published work has a high degree of translational relevance and in several instances has directly informed clinical practice.
