Dr. Goldstein Presents at National Meeting of ACAAI

Boston 2017 Meeting of American College of Allergy, Asthma, Immunology (ACAAI)

October 30, 2017. Boston, MA – The Asthma Center’s Dr. Marc Goldstein presented two research studies this past weekend at the 2017 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) held in Boston, Massachusetts. The national ACAAI conference provides a forum for the allergy and immunology community to congregate and share new medical research and best practices in the field. 

Dr. Goldstein’s presentations discussed research work completed at The Asthma Center over the last few years with Dr. Donald Dvorin, Dr. George Belecanech, and Drexel University College of Medicine student Krista Vadaketh. Abstracts of both studies will be published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “This year’s research was very well received by the attendees of the ACAAI meeting. People were especially interested in some of the novel treatment therapies that we are researching at The Asthma Center,” said Dr. Goldstein. Goldstein hopes to continue the research in coming years.
