Advanced Care for Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Conditions

The Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Care Team provides advanced care for children with complex respiratory diseases, including those requiring long-term ventilator support or lung transplantation. We facilitate smooth transitions from PICU to home care, emphasizing pulmonary rehabilitation and family education.

For severe atopic dermatitis, food allergy, anaphylaxis, and asthma, we offer cutting-edge immunotherapy and tailored strategies. Through world-class clinical care and pioneering research, we help shape the future of pediatric allergy and respiratory medicine.

Long-Term Disease Control and Modification

Our team is committed to achieving long-term remission through a comprehensive range of advanced, evidence-based therapies, guided by shared decision-making with patients and families. These include subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy for respiratory allergens, biologics for severe asthma and atopic dermatitis, and pediatric-tailored oral immunotherapy for food allergies.

Each treatment plan is personalized based on disease severity, allergen profiles, and patient needs, integrating clinical expertise with the latest scientific advances.

To promote long-term respiratory health, we focus on preserving and improving lung function. This includes the use of systemic and inhaled corticosteroids to reduce airway inflammation, targeted airway clearance techniques for children with chronic lung disease, and structured pulmonary rehabilitation programs tailored to each child's condition and developmental stage.

Specialized Expertise

Chronic Pediatric Respiratory Care Clinic

We offer integrated care for children with chronic lung diseases, aiming to preserve lung function through airway clearance, inhaled therapies, and tailored pulmonary rehabilitation-supported by strong caregiver involvement.

Pediatric Lung Transplantation Care Clinic

We provide comprehensive care before and after lung transplantation, including advanced respiratory support, immunosuppressive monitoring, and individualized discharge planning.

Pediatric Allergy Clinic

We provide individualized allergy care with a focus on building long-term tolerance and disease modification. Treatment options include oral, sublingual, and subcutaneous immunotherapy, all delivered through shared decision-making with families.

Allergy Prevention and Environmental Health

Allergic and respiratory diseases result from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Our team focuses on modifiable environmental factors through precision-based approaches tailored to individual risk profiles.

For primary prevention, we promote immune tolerance by maintaining skin barrier integrity and gradually introducing allergenic foods (e.g., egg, peanut) during early infancy.

For secondary prevention, we intervene early in sensitized children to prevent disease progression. This includes shared decision-making and the selective use of biologics, probiotics, and prebiotics to modulate immune responses in high-risk individuals.

We also monitor and manage environmental exposures such as indoor pollutants, mold, tobacco smoke, and air quality using validated tools, and offer personalized action plans to improve home environments.

Our research utilizes multi-omics approaches to explore how early-life factors and biomarkers contribute to disease onset and progression. These insights guide the development of personalized prevention and treatment strategies to improve long-term health outcomes in children.
