Scott H. Sicherer, M.D., is the Elliot and Roslyn Jaffe professor of allergy, immunology and pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute. He is Chief of the Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, and Medical Director of the Institution's Clinical Research Unit. Sicherer received his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is board-certified in allergy and immunology and specializes in food allergies. His research interests include gastrointestinal manifestations, epidemiology, psychosocial and quality of life issues, diagnostics, prevention, genetics and treatments. He has published over 275 articles and 75 book chapters in major pediatric and allergy textbooks and journals, and has been consistently recognized as among the top 1% of researchers in his field. Hugh A Sampson, MD, is the Kurt Hirschhorn Professor of Pediatrics, the Dean for Translational Biomedical Sciences, PI and Director of Conduits; Institutes for Translational Sciences (CTSA), and the Director of the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Sampson completed his allergy/immunology fellowship training at Duke University in 1980 and was a faculty member in the Division of Allergy/Immunology at Duke University and then Johns Hopkins University before coming to Mount Sinai. Dr. Sampson's research interests have focused primarily on food allergic disorders including the immunopathogenic role of food hypersensitivity in atopic dermatitis and anaphylaxis, characterization of food allergens, and improved diagnostic tests and immunotherapeutic strategies for treating food allergies. Dr. Sampson is the PI of the NIH-sponsored Consortium on Food Allergy Research and an AADCRC program project conducting a number of clinical trials investigating novel therapies for the treatment of food allergy and investigating basic immunologic mechanisms associated with desensitization and the eventual development of tolerance. He has published over 400 articles and 60 book chapters on food allergic disorders and co-edited four books, and was elected to membership in the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in 2003 for his research in food allergies. Dr. Sampson is past chairman of the Section on Allergy & Immunology of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the past-president of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

"All in all this book covers vast range of topics related with indoor, out-door allergen induced responses including the basic principles of immunology and diseases in children. Primarily, this multi-author book presents deeper understanding of the pathophysiology in a concerted manner. The same makes this book collectable for those clinicians interested in most up-to-date text on allergic conditions and the generalists who will benefitting from learning about wide range of expressions of Immunological challenges children are exposed to in the modern age."
