BRI's Erik Wambre's discovery of the Th2A cell could be a big step toward stopping allergies. The cell, which only appears in people with allergies is currently being used as a biomarker of allergy in a study where participants are slowly exposed to the allergen. Next, Dr. Wambre is interested in working to find the molecule that will block the Th2A cells to treat not just one allergy, but all of them.
