Bio-molecular studies for improved diagnosis and management of Australian children with fish allergy [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andreas Lopata (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Dianne Campbell ,  Prof Norelle Daly

Brief description Allergy to fish among children is often life-long and emerging as a significant healthcare issue worldwide, while management of fish allergy is challenging due to the lack of reliable diagnostic assays. This research grant will lead to the development of novel diagnostics for fish allergy in Australia, addressing aspects of the worldwide food allergy epidemic and forms the ideal platform for the study of fish specific allergens, generating novel knowledge for greatly improved patient management.
