![]() | Allergy, Immunity and Tolerance in Early Childhood Allergy, Immunity and Tolerance in Early Childhood: The First Steps of the Atopic March provides valuable insights on the atopic diseases, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies, which have developed into major health problems in most parts of the world. As the natural history of these chronic diseases has been extensively studied, including their major genetic, environmental, and lifestyle determinants and potential protective factors, the book presents tactics on how pediatric allergists can provide early intervention. In addition, the book unites key, global experts in the field who summarize their collective, and current, knowledge of the early stage of the "Atopic March", along with novel ideas for potential options of prevention. 1970 Graduation at University of Heidelberg, MD-thesis 1971 - 1972 Postdoc at German Cancer Research Institute, Heidelberg 1972 - 1978 Clinical Training for Pediatrics and Allergology at University Children's Hospital Heidelberg 1978 - 1979 Research Fellow at National Institutes of Health (Clinical Immunology Section) in Bethesda, USA 1979 - 1981 University Children's Hospital, Heidelberg Habilitation (Member of the Faculty) Heidelberg, Senior Staff, Member at Children's Hospital Ruhr-University Bochum 1986 - 1998 Professor for Pediatric Pneumology and Immunology (C3) at Children's Hospital of Free University Berlin, Chief of Pediatric Pneumology Department, Chest Clinic Heckeshorn 1998 - 2012 Chair and Head of the department f#65533;r Pediatric Pneumology and Immunology (C4), Charit#65533;, Berlin Functions: 2003 - 2005 President of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2003 - 2007 Associate Editor: European Respiratory Journal 2003 - 2009 Fachkollegiat of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 2010 - 2012 Labor Berlin, Director for Allergy and Immunology From 2010 Chief Editor: Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (PAI) Publications: 450 original papers in peer reviewed journals, 30 books/book chapters |
