Learning Objectives:

Discuss basic principles of immune tolerance, and how the timing of allergen exposure can exert a profound influence on subsequent sensitization and symptoms of food allergy in susceptible children
Discuss new thinking about the mechanisms and consequences of skin barrier breakdown for atopic dermatitis and allergen sensitization, including how barrier function impacts microbial colonization, and is attenuated by new biologic therapies
Discuss the effects of asthma exacerbation on disease natural history, including how new biologic therapies targeting eosinophils and Th2 pathways are providing unexpected new insights into disease pathobiology (an example of bidirectional translational research)
