Research in this program has centered in the past on: 1) IgE immunoregulation in atopic eczema and other allergic diseases; 2) defining the cellular and molecular bases of human primary immunodeficiency diseases; 3) studies of T cell ontogeny, tolerance induction and MHC restriction patterns in human SCID haploidentical stem cell chimeras; and 4) thymic development; 5) mechanism and treatment of food allergy; 6) complement and its role in human disease. Trainees are encouraged to take 3 or more years of training.

The primary focus is clinical training, but the program includes research opportunities in an active research environment encompassing clinical and translational research. The clinical experience is notable for a rich mixture of adult and pediatric patients with diverse clinical problems including asthma, rhinitis and sinusitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria and angioedema, venom and drug hypersensitivity, food allergy, and immune deficiency disorders. Fellow research opportunities are facilitated by several program faculty having appointments in the Wake Forest University Center for Human Genomics, a leading center for asthma genomics, and the recently created Translational Research Institute.
