Experimental Allergy

Abstract

The experimental allergy laboratory focuses on the elucidation of the basic mechanisms underlying the initiation and perpetuation of allergic disease.
We use experimental models of allergy such as allergic asthma, to address disease susceptibility, the factors governing disease severity and chronicity, and drug discovery.
