Expecting Mothers’ Study of Consumption or Avoidance of Peanut and Egg (ESCAPE) Seminar

The Touro Nevada Department of Research welcomes seminar speaker, Kirsi M. Järvinen-Seppo, Professor and the Chief of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology and the Director of the Center for Food Allergy at the URMC.

Dr. Järvinen-Seppo directs an NIH-funded translational research program focused on developmental aspects of the infant systemic and mucosal immune system relating to development of food allergy and atopic dermatitis in early childhood. She is particularly interested in the role of maternal and agrarian lifestyle factors and breast milk composition in shaping the early infant immune system and uses human cohorts, clinical trials and laboratory bench research approaches to answer the mechanistic questions.

This seminar is open to Touro University Nevada students, faculty, and staff. Zoom details will be distributed via email prior to the event.
