From the Research Lab to Real Life
Research is a vital part of the Allergy and Immunology section. Physician-scientists and researchers collaborate with investigators from other sections on solving issues ranging from asthma and lung disease to food allergies and environmental toxicants. Our work doesn’t end in the lab, many of the studies our team are actively pursuing include clinical research and trial programs.
Some key areas of research within the Allergy and Immunology section include:
- Asthma and Lung Disease
- Asthma disparities and health outcome research
- Technology-based solutions research
- Lung Cell Biology Laboratory focused on human lung platforms and viral-mediated lung disease
- Cross-sectional prospective studies of asthma exacerbations and viral infections
- Clinical trials and population-based studies
- Food Allergy
- Food allergy immune therapeutics translational research program
- Food allergy clinical trials
- Food allergy birth cohort and longitudinal study
- Food allergy clinical registry
- Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGID)
- Eosinophilic esophagitis translational research laboratory
- EGID clinical research program
- Clinical trials and immunotherapeutics in EGID
- EGID clinical registry
- Environmental Toxicants and Immune Dysregulation
- Environmental toxicant and immunology laboratory
- Environmental toxicants and food allergy research
- Obesity, Nutrition and Metabolic Stress
- Cellular bioenergetics and metabolism laboratory
- Bioinformatics and Clinical Trial Implementation
- Bioinformatics in clinical trials network studies
