Center for Clinical Research
The section of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology participates in clinical research.
Information for Patients
Children become sick for lots of reasons and it is important for doctors to know the best way to help them. Doctors and companies must do research to test ways of treating Asthma and Allergies.
Clinical research studies help us find out more about illness and are important in making new medicines and treatments available for kids.
