The Rothenberg CURED Lab offers information about news coverage and happenings involving members of our lab, the division, division programs (Drug Allergy Program, Food Allergy Program, Transition and Adult Immunodeficiency Program) and the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED).
Thank you, Food Allergy Fund (FAF), for supporting research for allergic diseases. We would like to express our thanks for the FAF support of the allergen-mRNA project and advances in the food allergy field. The Rothenberg CURED Lab is continuing to make progress on the innovative use of allergen-mRNA for the prevention and treatment of allergies, including asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases.
It is Rare Disease Day, in which we spread awareness of rare health conditions.
Thank you, Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), for bringing greater awareness to rare diseases like eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders in this video!
Beyond the Bite: EoE and Food Allergy
Thank you, Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Diseases (CURED), for the generous support (>$7.25 million) of research for eosinophilic diseases, which has greatly increased our understanding and improved outcomes for rare diseases such as eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis. The Rothenberg lab proudly bears the name “Rothenberg CURED Laboratory” to acknowledge CURED’s essential role.
"As we roll into the New Year, I am pleased to share this video of the amazing accomplishments of the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children’s over the last year. Wishing everyone a happy new year and expectations that we will continue to move science and patient care ahead in a truly impactful and meaningful manner." ~ Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD.
We created a video to raise awareness for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGID), inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract caused by allergic reactions. These chronic conditions affect both children and adults.
“It’s been exciting to lead this research,” says Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD, “which has to do with predisposition to diseases, particularly those of the immune system. We tested the hypothesis that early life exposures could influence subsequent immune reactions.”
This study, published in the American Journal of Physiology: Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, is the first to show that amniotic fluid can affect the differentiation and responses of the esophageal epithelium.

"We are pleased to report a multi-site randomized food elimination trial in children, showing the effectiveness of a one-food elimination diet as an initial approach to therapy for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE),” says Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD. The findings show that elimination of milk is a sound initial approach to treating EoE.
These findings are consistent with results we reported last year in adults. Learn more about the adult study.
