Allergic Diseases in the Asian American Population

Описание: Allergic diseases are increasingly prevalent in the United States and now affect nearly 1 in 4 children. While the Asian American population is rapidly growing, little has been previously known about allergic diseases in the heterogenous Asian American population. Our recently published work has shown a high prevalence of allergic diseases in certain Asian American populations. In this session, we will discuss the latest research findings on allergic diseases among different Asian American ethnic groups and the impact of allergic diseases in these communities.

Dr. Anna Chen Arroyo is currently a Clinical Associate Professor and Section Chief of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunodeficiency in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Arroyo completed her undergraduate and medical degree at Stanford University and received a master’s degree in public health at University of California at Berkeley. After finishing her internal medicine residency at Stanford, she went on to complete a fellowship in allergy/immunology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital before returning to join the Stanford faculty. Her research has focused on understanding early life risk factors that influence the development of allergic diseases and the epidemiology of allergic diseases, with a focus on the Asian American population. She has been awarded multiple grants, including the Stanford Department of Medicine Chair Diversity Investigator Research Award, and has published numerous peer-reviewed original articles in leading national allergy and asthma journals.
