Latest Developments in Pediatric and Adult Allergy Research

For 100 million Americans, a simple encounter with the wrong food or environmental agent can trigger anything from a stuffy nose to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Officially established in 2014, the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy & Asthma Research at Stanford, led by Dr. Kari Nadeau, seeks to find the causes of and cures for this growing epidemic.
