Her research initiatives have included:

• • Investigating environmental risk factors, biomarkers and mechanisms of early life food allergy and atopic dermatitis in a large multi-center birth cohort and in large national surveys.
  • Better understanding which infants are most at risk for peanut allergy and which tests best identify those with allergy.
  • Evaluating how a housing intervention affects asthma activity in children who live in poor urban neighborhoods.
  • Understanding the relationship between food sensitization and cardiovascular disease.
  • Testing novel treatments for food allergy.
