Overview

The purpose of this work is to characterize the immunologic signatures and clinical characteristics of a diverse population of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis. Understanding the unique immune pathogenesis of pediatric atopic dermatitis will drive discovery of targeted therapies appropriate to the unique needs of pediatric patients.
