Neuroimmunology – How the Allergic Response is Initiated

Caroline Sokol, MD, PhD, FAAAAI, discusses her work looking at how sensory neurons talk to the immune system and are key in initiating the allergic response. She also discusses why the allergic responses likely evolved to respond to toxins rather than worms and parasites. We also discuss the upcoming Discovery program at the AAAAI/WAO Joint Congress and advice for the next generation of scientists.
