Devonshire Research Lab
The Devonshire Lab is investigating food allergy prevention and interventions in the pediatric population. Ashley Devonshire, MD, MPH, is passionate about advancing the care of young children with food allergy through clinical practice and research. Her clinical and research interests are focused on early life strategies for food allergy prevention, improving the diagnostic and prognostic approach to patients with food allergy, the use of shared decision making in food allergy management, and the design and conduct of clinical trials. We are examining oral immunotherapy outcomes related to safety and efficacy in our clinical oral immunotherapy population.
Early Intervention Initiatives
The Division of Allergy and Immunology has a specialized approach for the prevention, early identification and management of food allergy in early life. We see young children who may be at risk for food allergy or who already have food allergies. Ashley Devonshire, MD, MPH, leads the early intervention initiatives, including establishing the Beginning Introduction to Allergens Early Clinic and working with dermatology on the stopping atopic march progression collaborative. The Beginning Introduction to Allergens Early Clinic provides families with information on prevention of food allergy and is associated with clinical research opportunities. The stopping atopic march progression collaborative is a primary prevention initiative for infants with severe eczema to stop the progression of eczema to food allergies, allergic rhinitis and asthma.
