About
Dr. Corinne Keet is a specialist in the field of allergy and immunology. She routinely provides clinical care through the Pediatric Allergy Clinic and as an Attending Physician on the Allergy/Immunology inpatient consult at UNC Children’s. She is also the Associate Editor for Food Allergy at the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the leading journal in the field.
Dr. Keet’s NIH-sponsored research is focused on the prevention, management, and long-term outcomes of pediatric allergies. Specifically, her research aims to identify environmental factors which contribute to food allergy, atopic dermatitis, and asthma and find practical solutions to prevent and treat these diseases. Her research initiatives have included:
- Investigating environmental risk factors, biomarkers and mechanisms of early life food allergy and atopic dermatitis in a large multi-center birth cohort and in large national surveys.
- Better understanding which infants are most at risk for peanut allergy and which tests best identify those with allergy.
- Evaluating how a housing intervention affects asthma activity in children who live in poor urban neighborhoods.
- Understanding the relationship between food sensitization and cardiovascular disease.
- Testing novel treatments for food allergy.
