Welcome to the website of the Collegium Internationale Allergologicum (CIA)
In the 1950’s, the founders of the CIA envisioned a society that would promote and celebrate excellence in basic science and clinical investigation in allergy and related fields.
The next Biennial Symposium will showcase the latest research from both members and non-members, and will include prestigious invited lectures by leading experts in the field.
Dr. Gern works at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where their research focuses on how viral infections and other early-life environmental factors influence the risk of developing childhood asthma. They are particularly proud of leading the Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup (CREW), a consortium that combined data from 12 existing and one new birth cohort to tackle key questions about the epidemiology, risk factors, and pathogenesis of childhood asthma.
