A multi-year NIH grant awarded to the University of Michigan to establish a clinical research center for food allergy, focusing on innovative diagnostics and genetic research.
Description
The project aims to develop a clinical research center focusing on food allergy, with specific objectives including developing clinical and research capabilities in food allergy, investigating a new diagnostic approach using Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) to predict allergic reactions during food challenges, and examining the genetic basis of food allergy and atopic dermatitis through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and Mendelian Randomization.
