Dear Café Scientifiquers, our next café will happen on Tuesday June 27th, 7:30pm at The Fairview Pub (898 W Broadway). The format for the night will be a panel discussion on the science behind food allergies.
The Science of Food Allergies
Did you know that some parents go to the emergency room parking lot to give peanut to their infant for the first time? This panel discussion will shed some light on hot topics in food allergy, especially the latest updates on preventing peanut allergy in infants and treating food allergy using oral or patch immunotherapy. We will also discuss interesting topics such as the role of oral food challenges as a diagnostic tool for food allergy, and anxiety in food allergy. This panel discussion is for anyone who is interested in food allergy, especially those without any prior knowledge of food allergy or those who are newly diagnosed with food allergy.
Panelists:
Dr. Edmond Chan, Pediatric Allergist
Dr. Lianne Soller, Post-doctoral Fellow
Ingrid Baerg, Research Nurse
Elaine Hsu, M.Sc. Student
