What this research studies
You could join clinical trials or observational projects at Mount Sinai that aim to prevent and treat food allergies and to learn why they happen. The center runs network-wide trials and center-specific studies, including birth cohorts and interventional work, and collects health data and biological samples. The team has led food allergy research since 1997 and participates in ongoing CoFAR studies across the network. Participation typically involves clinic visits, tests, sample collection, and possible treatment procedures depending on the specific study.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People of all ages with food allergies, and infants or children at higher risk for food allergy, may be eligible for certain studies.
Not a fit: People without food allergies or those needing immediate emergency care for anaphylaxis are unlikely to benefit directly from joining these studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to better ways to prevent severe reactions and more effective treatments for people with food allergies.
How similar studies have performed: CoFAR centers, including Mount Sinai, have led multiple prior trials and cohorts, so this builds on established clinical research in food allergy.
