Ongoing Research: A Critical Need

While there is no cure for eosinophilic disorders, effective treatments are coming. Researchers at Cincinnati Children's are leading national efforts to help ensure that cures will be developed in the future.

Researchers at the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders are worldwide leaders in the field. Our research involves basic, clinical and translational studies to determine the reason for the current epidemic of eosinophilic disorders and to develop a cure for the disease.

Because of our growing knowledge and ever improving technology, we have an unprecedented ability to make strides in our understanding of these diseases. We are currently studying compounds that might block eosinophil production, as we strive to develop the next and best treatment for eosinophil-associated medical disorders. Read our Research Summary to see what we have learned about these diseases so far, and what we still need to learn.

Research on these disorders is undersupported by current grant agencies. A quest for a cure is only limited by this shortage of funds. Your gift can help ensure that cures will be developed in the future. To find out how you can help, contact cced@cchmc.org.

Cincinnati Children's Dedicates New Research Facility

On Monday, Nov. 19, a dedication ceremony was held for the medical center's new 12-story, 415,000-square-foot research building, also known as Location S. Said Jim Anderson, president and CEO, "The name of the building doesn't even hint at our hopes for what will be accomplished inside it. But I can assure you, our aspirations and expectations are high." Read full story and view photos.

The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders is currently recruiting patients for a clinical trial for Flovent, to help test the effects in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). Learn more about the criteria for participation in this study.

Eosinophils May Play Role in Asthma Symptoms

Cincinnati scientists have found further evidence that certain defensive white cells in the body cause or play a major role in asthma symptoms. These findings could help identify a new treatment target to help asthma sufferers. Read full story about the findings from this research study on eosinophils.
