Research
Our researchers focus on how immune systems interact during pregnancy to influence the development of a child’s immunity. By treating a pregnant person’s allergic response, we hope to learn how to reduce a child’s risk for asthma and other allergies during pregnancy.
Education
Our division has been named a Pediatric Pulmonary Center (PPC) by the Program of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, making us the first and only center of this type in the western U.S. The PPC designation means that our pediatric pulmonologists train medical professionals from all the states in the region on improved therapies for children with chronic lung disease.
