Faculty, trainees, and students in the Division of Allergy and Immunology continue to advance the field through impactful research on food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and early-life predictors of allergy outcomes.
Recent media coverage highlights new findings on how the timing, duration, and severity of childhood eczema may influence a child’s likelihood of outgrowing food allergies. This research team includes Mahboobeh Mahdavinia, MD, PhD, associate professor and division director, and Nicole Koulov, medical student, whose contributions were integral to this work…
