Food Allergy: UChicago Medicine FACET
World-Class Food Allergy Care

We combine innovative clinical care and state-of-the-art research to offer the most advanced food allergy treatment methods possible for people of all ages.
Food allergies and intolerances may develop later in life, and food allergies in adults are often overlooked when compared to children.

- Discover novel diagnostics
- Implement innovative therapies
- Trial experimental therapies
