“In the past decade, we have built a vigorous research program that has been integrated with the strong clinical programs that have existed here for decades.”
– Robert P. Schleimer, PhD
The Division of Allergy and Immunology conducts laboratory and clinical research to gain new knowledge and improve the treatment options for the millions of people who live with allergies and chronic immune system conditions.

Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
I am the PI on a phase 1 study "Suppression of allergic antibodies in human subjects" exploring a novel approach in people with allergies (allergic rhinitis) by injecting the neuropeptide, substance P. This work stems from a serendipitous observation in animals and then investigation of allergic subjects. The project is listed in clinicaltrials.gov.
I am the PI on a study "Anti-TSLP plus antigen-specific immunotherapy for induction of tolerance in individuals with cat allergy." This project is listed in clinicaltrials.gov.
Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
Sinus problems, trans nasal resection of skull base tumors, snoring and sleep apnea, Taste and smell disorders
Professor of Pediatrics (Academic General Pediatrics and Primary Care) and Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
Dr. Gupta is a Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at Northwestern Medicine and has more than 15 years of experience as a board-certified pediatrician and health researcher. Dr. Gupta is the director of the Science and Outcomes of Allergy and Asthma Research Team (SOAAR) and is a clinical attending at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital Chicago, where she is actively involved in clinical, epidemiological, and community research.
She is nationally recognized for her groundbreaking research in the areas of food allergy and asthma epidemiology; specifically her research on childhood foo...

Associate Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis, Drug Allergy, Food Allergy, Chronic Cough, Chronic Sinusitis, Urticaria Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
My clinical interests include Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (also known as AERD, Samter's Disease, or Samter's Triad), sinusitis (with and without nasal polyps), asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), drug allergies, food allergies, urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. My main research interests focus on studying AERD and chronic sinus disease.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
The question of primary interest in my lab is why only select individuals, despite being genetically similar and living in the same allergen environment, are prone to developing allergic disease, and which processes drive this predisposition? To address this, we employ a systems biology approach and bioinformatics to explore whether there is underlying unity in the pathogenesis of seemingly disparate allergic diseases. By synthesizing large volumes of biological data, we link departures from homeostatic conditions (including changes in metabolic, developmental, and endocrine systems) at the ep...
Associate Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology)
Asthma, Hay fever, Idiopathic anaphylaxis, Sinusitis, Urticaria
Professor of Medicine (Allergy and Immunology), Microbiology-Immunology and Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
I am interested in the mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment of a variety of allergic and inflammatory diseases associated with allergy. These include chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, hay fever, rhinitis, food allergy and others. We also study the mechanisms of action of antiinflammatory glucocorticoids. Our studies focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying disease and steroid action as well as developing strategies to for new treatments.
