Study Aim:
The purpose of this study ( ITA : I nducing T olerance in A llergy"is to understand how exposure to an allergen via the skin can regulate the body’s response to the allergen, and whether we can use the skin to induce long-lasting tolerance to allergens.
Research questions:
Allergy in early life : We aim to understand how skin immune responses to allergens develop in childhood
Tolerance in atopic dermatitis : We are investigating how immune sensitisation and tolerance are regulated in atopic skin
Inducing immunosuppression : Using cells derived from human skin we aim to identify a strategy for induction of long lasting tolerance to allergens
Study team:
We are a team of laboratory, clinical and computer scientists, doctors and nurses, working together to develop treatment strategy for long-lasting tolerance to allergens. You can get more info about us on the Investigators tab
Recruitment:
The study is currently open for recruitment, you can find details in our recruitment tab
