UVA’s Division of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, led by Michael Nelson, MD, PhD, is making discoveries and conducting cutting-edge research in areas such as immune deficiency, peanut allergy, the role of rhinovirus in asthma, the epidemiology of asthma, and tick-associated delayed anaphylaxis to red meat.

Faculty members offer comprehensive medical care for the asthma-related and allergic conditions that have reached epidemic proportions in recent years.* These include seasonal, food, drug, and chemical allergies, as well as respiratory, skin, and immunologic conditions. Along with general allergy clinics, the division offers sub-specialty clinics, including one for immune deficiency.

Your gift will help support the division’s vital clinical, educational, and research missions.
