Brief description The aim of this proposal is to test the safety of a novel immunotherapy based on Helicobacter pylori platform technology to treat childhood allergies. Repeated oral administration of killed H. pylori mimics colonisation in the stomach and assists the development of a balanced immune system without the associated disease risk of live H. pylori. To achieve this goal Professor Barry Marshall has assembled a cross-disciplinary team of experts from Industry, Academia and Clinic.
