The Research Group in Asthma and Immunoallergic Diseases was integrated into the i+12 Institute at the time of its creation as an emerging group called the “Pediatrics Asthma” group. It dedicates most of its activity to researching the epidemiology of asthma, mainly being involved in the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) (prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis).
Considering that most allergic pathologies begin during childhood, progressing and persisting throughout adulthood, the confluence of both former groups, the “Inflammatory/Allergic Diseases” group and the “Pediatrics Asthma” group, into the new “Asthma and Immunoallergic Diseases” group, is a brilliant opportunity to continue developing our current lines of research and to explore new common research lines.
