Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of food allergy and the development of tolerance.

澳大利亚是世界上食物过敏患病率最高的国家，这对澳大利亚的医疗体系提出了巨大的需求。迫切需要快速、安全的方法来诊断食物过敏。我的博士后项目将确定常规的和新的测试阈值，这些阈值可以诊断食物过敏，而不需要危险的食物挑战。此外，我将开发一种工具，允许临床医生预测哪些儿童最有可能长大后摆脱食物过敏。

Australia has the highest prevalence of food allergy internationally which has placed a huge demand on the Australian healthcare system. There is an urgent need for fast and safe ways to diagnose food allergy. My postdoctoral program will identify routine and novel test thresholds that are diagnostic of food allergy without the need for dangerous food challenges. In addition, I will develop a tool that allows clinicians to predict which children are most likely to outgrow their food allergy.
