This changes everything. 20 years after proof of concept for anti-IgE in food allergy, we now have an available treatment.

Extremely proud of the 10 teams around the country who did this work, and incredibly grateful to the brave participants. wsj.com/health/pharma/…

Come see us! We want to evaluate infants with eczema and/or food allergy(ies) as soon as we can. Treatments started early in life provide the best benefit! Learn more and make an appointment today at

Repeat after me: early OIT is the best OIT. In some kids you may even be able to modify disease progression…see in this study how the IgE levels rise in the placebo but not active group 👀

A survey of thousands of US academics has found that the number one reason that women leave faculty positions is poor “workplace climate”, which can encompass discrimination, dysfunctional leadership, a feeling of not fitting in and other problems. More: go.nature.com/46ZGmtU

Very proud to have been a part of this international team evaluating peanut OIT in preschoolers - in my opinion the very highest and best use of this therapy. So much so that we have developed an early treatment program Children's that is changing lives today.

We are hiring MULTIPLE allergy/immunology physicians Emory School of Medicine Emory Healthcare Children's Emory Department of Medicine Emory Dept of PEDS! We will have much more to come - including the #ACAAI23 job fair - but for internal medicine-trained candidates 👇

The clinical prediction of food allergy reaction severity remains challenging. New data suggest that tryptase genotyping could be useful as a biomarker of patients with food allergy who are at risk for life-threatening reactions. Read on. bit.ly/3PMPSd2

I’ve been searching for a response to the brokenness of our world and, not finding anything suitable to say, have been quiet. Harari’s call to “make an effort to empathize with all suffering humans […] to help maintain a space for peace” resonates. May it one day be so. 🕊️☮️✌🏻

Congratulations Alexandra Santos for your tireless and expert effort leading this working group, of which I am immensely proud and grateful to be a very small part.

There is only one moral response to Hamas’ horrific, atrocious terrorist attacks in Israel: unequivocal and forceful condemnation. There is never, ever any justification for terrorism against innocent civilians. Anywhere. Full stop.
It’s unfathomable that many argue otherwise.

Congratulations to Edwin and team on this study - can’t wait to read

Great piece on EoE and other vagaries of allergic inflammation by ⁦Moises Velasquez-Manoff⁩ asking the provocative question…

“Why has there been no moonshot program to conquer allergic disease?” nytimes.com/2023/10/04/mag…

Read this (especially if you are in academia and/or lead people).

The hard truth is that, by & large, our systems are inequitable. Some succeed anyway with unimaginable grit. We owe them not only congratulations but also the improvement of our systems. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/10…

Children commonly experience rashes while receiving antibiotics.

We've come a LONG way in understanding the vast majority of these rashes are not due to allergy...and many allergies resolve over time.

Today is the perfect day to have this clarified! #PenicillinAllergyDay
