Training Opportunities

As a Clinician-Scientist, Dr. Ellis practices a translational approach to learning by integrating basic science research with clinical experience. All trainees in her laboratory can attend observerships in her outpatient Allergy & Immunology clinics. This experience will allow trainees to appreciate the impact allergic disease has on patients, and the importance of her research. In addition, all trainees will have the opportunity to participate in varying degrees in the Allergy Clinical Trials program at KHSC-KGH site, the cornerstone of which being the internationally recognized Environmental Exposure Unit (EEU). Developed by Dr. James Day and Dr. Reginald Clark in the early 1980s, this specially engineered room provides a reliable and reproducible clinical model of allergic rhinitis to evaluate a wide variety of anti-allergic therapies. The EEU (www.eeu.on.ca

) was the first allergen challenge system of its kind in Canada, is the gold standard to which all others are compared; and provides a decisive component to assessing new anti-allergic therapies.
