AAAAI - Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (ART)

"The ERT award will enable me to pursue one of the loftiest goals of the field of Allergy and Immunology: progress towards the primary prevention of the development of allergies. Up to now most research has focused on treatment alone. As a practicing allergist constantly facing new members of atopic families, this award will allow me to work together with parents to examine a new opportunity to improve the lives of their children."
