PERSIAN Cohort
The PERSIAN birth cohort is a project that focuses on understanding how genetics, socioeconomic, environmental, and psychological factors contribute to health and disease in the Iranian population.
In this collaboration, our research has primarily focused on the incidence of food allergy and atopic comorbidities in children from birth to early childhood. We also compare the stool microbiome between children in South Africa and Iran to better understand the prevalence of IgE-mediated food allergy.
