Association Between Clinical Features of Eczema and Outgrowing of Food Allergies in Pediatric Patients

Nicole is passionate about research that directly impacts patient care and helps improve health outcomes. This past summer, she explored the connection between eczema and the likelihood of outgrowing food allergies in children while working with the Division of Allergy and Immunology.
