Basic science, clinicial studies, and more

Through our research, we seek to understand, to treat, and ultimately to prevent food allergy — a multi-pronged approach that begins with fundamental scientific understanding we can translate to the clinic.

The Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center supports more than three dozen food allergy investigators throughout the laboratories of our dedicated basic and clinical researchers.

We’ve assembled a remarkable team of experts, drawing from strengths in immunology, microbiology, computational biology, health care policy, and clinical pathology — all coming together to focus on the same problem from different angles. We learn faster together, and because food allergy isn’t a simple disease, we recognize the value of diversity of thought in finding new approaches.

“Having a passion for this disease and an empathy for the patients and the folks that have the disease is really an important piece for driving the pace of the research.”
