Ongoing Research: A Critical Need

Researchers at the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) 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 diagnostics and 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 and see what we have learned about these diseases so far and what we still need to learn.

CCED Research 

We have a dedicated CCED research center and a comprehensive clinic for children and adults with eosinophilic disorders. 

CCED Clinical Studies

We are actively conducting research to help understand and improve outcomes for patients with eosinophilic disorders. For research inquiries, contact the CCED at ccedresearch@cchmc.org.

Research-to-Therapeutic Pipeline

Developing new treatments and cures is an involved process that requires significant time and investment, especially during the fundamental stages of basic research and discovery validation, which are a major priority of the CCED. The CCED has a critical role in this process, working tirelessly on each stage, and has already had a key role in the development of molecular diagnostics for EoE, eosinophilic gastritis (EoG) and eosinophilic colitis (EoC) and therapeutic strategies for eosinophilic disorders such as eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Current therapeutics for eosinophilic conditions primarily act to suppress the inflammatory response; modulate the epithelial barrier, allergen sensing, or microbiome; or inhibit eosinophil functions, such as eosinophil recruitment to the tissue, activation or survival.
