Allergy and Immunology

  • Specialized Research Collaborations

    The research of the Division of Allergy and Immunology often involves close collaboration with centers, consortiums and other divisions within Cincinnati Children’s. Below are descriptions of our five most marked collaborations.

  • Show All

    + Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders

     The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) is the international leader in both caring for patients with eosinophilic conditions and researching the best treatments and cure. The CCED was the first center established that brings together experts in allergy / immunology, gastroenterology, social work, nutrition and pathology to evaluate, treat and study these chronic medical problems in children and adults. The CCED’s multidisciplinary team has extensive experience with these disorders and aims to provide personalized care and learn from each patient. Several of the faculty of the Division of Allergy and Immunology are physicians and researchers on the CCED’s multidisciplinary team: Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD; J. Pablo Abonia, MD; Amal  Assa’ad, MD; Simon Hogan, PhD; Anil Mishra, PhD; and Kimberly Risma, MD, PhD.

    + Digestive Health Center

    The Digestive Health Center (DHC) is focused on bench-to-bedside research in pediatric digestive disease and is one of only 17 Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers in the nation supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD, Simon Hogan, PhD, and Anil Mishra, PhD, are all investigators of this center, and Nives Zimmermann, MD, and Yui-His Wang, PhD, are associate members.

    + Division of Asthma Research

    The Division of Asthma Research at Cincinnati Children’s focuses its research efforts on individual variations in asthma presentation, treatment response and outcomes. Faculty of the Division of Asthma Research and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate as evidenced by a shared NIH U19 AARDC grant.

    Visit the Division of Asthma Research.

    + Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition

    The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Cincinnati Children’s specializes in treatment and research for gastrointestinal, liver and nutritional disorders. Faculty of the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate in areas of research including eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders and inflammatory bowel disease.

    Visit the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.

    + Division of Immunobiology

    The Division of Immunobiology at Cincinnati Children’s conducts research toward understanding the cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms that drive immunologically mediated disorders in children. Marsha Wills-Karp, PhD, of the Division of Immunobiology actively collaborates, publishes and co-mentors with faculty of the Division of Allergy and Immunology. Two of our faculty serve as directors of admissions for the Immunobiology Graduate Program: Simon Hogan, PhD, is the director of PhD admissions, and Nives Zimmermann, MD, is the director of MS admissions.

    The International Gastrointestinal Eosinophil Researchers (TIGER)

    TIGER represents a consortium of world experts focusing on the role of eosinophils in gastrointestinal diseases. Consortium members with pediatric and adult expertise share new diagnostic criteria, build interest among young investigators, develop a research agenda for cooperative multi-center studies, and offer therapeutic strategies for the thousands of children and adults who suffer from this emerging disease.

  • The Registry for Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (REGID)
