Specialized Research Collaborations
The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) is the international leader in both caring for patients with eosinophilic conditions and researching the best treatments and cure. The CCED was the first center established that brings together experts in allergy / immunology, gastroenterology, social work, nutrition and pathology to evaluate, treat and study these chronic medical problems in children and adults. The CCED’s multidisciplinary team has extensive experience with these disorders and aims to provide personalized care and learn from each patient. Several of the faculty of the Division of Allergy and Immunology are physicians and researchers on the CCED’s multidisciplinary team: Marc E. Rothenberg, MD, PhD; J. Pablo Abonia, MD; Leah C. Kottyan, PhD; Kimberly A. Risma, MD, PhD.
The primary focus of the Center for Autoimmune Genomics and Etiology (CAGE) is to gain a better understanding of the genesis of lupus and other immunological diseases. Faculty of CAGE and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate, including Kenneth M. Kaufman, PhD; Leah C. Kottyan, PhD; and Matthew Weirauch, PhD.
The Center for Inflammation and Tolerance (CIT) at Cincinnati Children’s is a multidisciplinary team of scientists performing discovery and translational research in the broad scientific areas of immunology, inflammation, and tolerance. By bringing scientists with unique backgrounds and complementary expertise across divisions, new ways of addressing conceptual and technical bottlenecks can be optimally overcome with collaborative research. Faculty of the Division of Allergy and Immunology who are jointly appointed with the CIT are Ty D. Troutman, PhD and Nurit Azouz, PhD.
The Digestive Health Center is focused on bench-to-bedside research in pediatric digestive disease and is one of only 17 Silvio O. Conte Digestive Diseases Research Core Centers in the nation supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Marc E. Rothenberg, MD, PhD; Artem Barski, PhD; and Leah C. Kottyan, PhD are members, and Nurit Azouz, PhD; Tetsuo Shoda, MD, PhD; Ty D. Troutman, PhD; and Nives Zimmermann, MD are associate members. Several faculty of the Division of Allergy and Immunology have received Pilot Grant funding from the Digestive Health Center.
The Division of Asthma Research at Cincinnati Children’s focuses its research efforts on individual variations in asthma presentation, treatment response and outcomes. Faculty of the Division of Asthma Research and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate as evidenced by a shared NIH U19 AARDC grant and faculty member, Gurjit Khurana Hershey, MD, PhD.
The Division of Immunobiology at Cincinnati Children’s conducts research toward understanding the cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms that drive immunologically mediated disorders in children. There are several active collaborations, shared technologies, and equipment.
The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Cincinnati Children’s specializes in treatment and research for gastrointestinal, liver and nutritional disorders. Faculty of the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate in areas of research including eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders and inflammatory bowel disease. The most prominent example of these collaborations is the joint program focused on eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED).

The Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children's specializes in treatment and research of heritable disorders and has the overall research goal of creating unified platforms for complex phenotyping, genomic dissection and translation of personalized approaches to medical care and enhanced outcomes for individuals afflicted with gene-influenced diseases. Faculty of the Division of Human Genetics and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate as evidenced by a shared faculty member, Artem Barski, PhD.
The Division of Pulmonary Medicine specializes in treatment and research of lung conditions and is one of the most highly ranked pulmonary programs in the nation. Faculty of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine and the Division of Allergy and Immunology frequently collaborate on clinical trials involving asthma and jointly service the Asthma Center.
