The Eosinophil Clinical Research Unit develops translational and clinical protocols for study of eosinophilic disorders. Through comprehensive trainee and investigator mentoring as well as partnering with highly trained research coordinators, nurses, clinical providers, as well as patient advocates and research participants, ECRU oversees and implements protocols to study a range of eosinophil-related disorders. The types of protocols implemented include novel diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional approaches to study of eosinophil associated pathogenesis. The eosinophil clinical research unit also studies the application of augmented intelligence/machine learning approaches in allergic and immunologic diseases.
