Comments from Presenters
"As a new contributor to this event, I'm looking forward to networking opportunities with international experts; these opportunities offer valuable resources for sharing information that will lead to new collaborations and new research directions."
— Alan Landay, PhD
"WAO 2015 Symposium highlights the most recent developments in our field. Many prominent speakers. Superb science!"
— Harald Renz, MD
"As attendance is limited, it will be a perfect opportunity for sharing, learning and for in-depth scientific discussions."
— Prof. Christina West, MD, PhD
"Scientific meetings are always fun, you meet people who think alike, and still can teach you something! And of course I myself am presenting, and I hope to give a good discussion!"
— Claus Bachert, MD, PhD
"We are just at the very beginning of understanding the role of the microbiome in health and disease. The field of food allergy offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the microbiome given the focus of this disease on the GI tract."
— Alan Landay, PhD
"I am very much honored to speak at the globally represented symposium. It is always fun and stimulating to interact with worldwide fellows."
— Motohiro Ebisawa, MD, PhD
"Food allergy is one of the emerging clinical areas in our discipline. Not only increasing prevalence, but also novel pathophysiological approaches and developments of prevention and therapy make this a 'hot topic'."
— Harald Renz, MD
