Food Allergy Fund

#FoodAllergies affect 33 million Americans, which is nuts! Imagine the impact if every person with food allergies donated just $5 to research. We could raise a staggering $165 million to fund more crucial scientific research for better treatments and a cure. Join us in our #thisisnuts challenge to help reverse these stats and turn allergies upside down! To join the challenge, post a picture of yourself, your kids, pets, or a group doing a headstand, handstand, or anything upside down. Tag @foodallergyfund and use the #thisisnuts hashtag. Spread the word, and please consider donating at https://lnkd.in/eH4E6eks. #health #challenge #July4th #research

Our newest Food Allergy Research Digest issue is live today and shares the latest science. Congrats to Dr. @Stephanie Eisenbarth at Northwestern, who has published “Metabolic fitness of IgA+ plasma cells in the gut requires DOCK8” in Mucosal Immunology, along with “The aMPPle differentiation potential of TH2 cells in human allergy” in Science Immunology.

"We are honored to support Dr. Cathryn R. Nagler and her team's pivotal research into the role of the microbiome in food allergies," said Ilana Golant, founder and CEO of the Food Allergy Fund. "This research aligns perfectly with our commitment to funding scientific research into the underlying causes of the disease, with the ultimate goal of creating therapeutics to prevent it from occurring in future generations." Read more about this exciting new research in Katherine J. McAlpine's article for the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. https://lnkd.in/gHB8zPX7 #science #research #foodallergy #microbiome

In the #foodallergy community, “repurposing grants” have never been offered to study, refine and harness the power of FDA-approved drugs for food allergies. We are proud to set a precedent and will continue to seek opportunities to repurpose drugs to prevent the onset of food allergies, prevent or treat food anaphylaxis, or provide an improved therapeutic for maintaining food allergic tolerance in previously allergic patients. At our marquee Summit, we announced the recipients of our first Repurposing Challenge: Dr. Nicole Ramsey and Dr. @Maria Lafaille of Mount Sinai and Dr. Stephanie Eisenbarth and Dr. Adam Williams at Northwestern. We invite you to watch their presentations at the links below to learn more about their research.
