Allergy-Immunology and Rheumatology

The division of Allergy-Immunology (AI) in the Department of Pediatrics has a long and storied history at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.

Clinical research and quality improvement are major ongoing foci of the AI section. We support clinical research in the areas of pediatric atopy, asthma, and the microbiome, with numerous publications in this area, and in conjunction with the Georgia Prevention Institute (GPI) at Augusta University which has a focus on rural Georgia. The faculty have co-authored seminal clinical immunology publications and other original research, in addition to major textbook chapters, and review articles. Some of the faculty serve(d) as reviewers and on editorial boards of peer-reviewed national allergy-immunology journals. Our faculty are broadly sought for presentations at state, regional, national and international meetings in the field, on a variety of topics.
