Ruslan and the FASI team have a unique framework and penetrating insight into the underlying biology of food allergy. This vision animates the work of the team, drives progress, and creates an excitement that is palpable. As a parent of two children with food allergies, I am so pleased that FASI has brought together this group of investigators, and is expanding our understanding of the underlying cause of this common and challenging disease.
