RESEARCH ENDEAVORS
Physicians from the Division work closely with others at our hospital to enhance our research activities. Collaborative efforts are ongoing with Research Immunology/Bone Marrow Transplantation (primary immune deficiency), Pulmonology (asthma), Gastroenterology (eosinophilic enteropathy), and General Pediatrics (primary immune deficiency). The pathobiology and management of severe atopic dermatitis is a major focus of the Division.
The Children's AIDS Center is collaborating at the national level with the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Group (IMPAACT) through the University of Southern California, with NIH-funded investigators at UCLA, and with selected pharmaceutical companies to improve the care of Pediatric HIV/AIDS.
Similarly, studies involving patients with primary immune deficiency disorders, both sponsored and investigator-initiated, are ongoing.
