Kari Nadeau is a physician-scientist focused on allergy and asthma treatment at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is the Naddisy Family Foundation Professor of Allergy[1] and the Director of the Sean N Parker Center for Allergy Research at Stanford.

Education

After graduating from Haverford College (summa cum laude) with a degree in biology,[2] Dr. Nadeau attended Harvard Medical School via the Medical Scientist Training Program (NIH), and received a PhD in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and an MD in 1995. She then performed an internship and residency in pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School. From 1998 to 2002, she worked in the field of biopharmaceuticals and led clinical research to obtain FDA approval for two biologics in the field of Autoimmunity and Oncology, respectively. From 2003-2006, Dr. Nadeau was a fellow in Asthma, Allergy and Immunology at the Stanford/UCSF program under Dr. Dale Umetsu. During this time, she also did a postdoctoral fellowship in human immune tolerance mechanisms in asthma and allergy.

Academic position

In 2006, Dr. Nadeau was appointed to the Stanford University School of Medicine with appointments in Pediatrics and Otolaryngology. She currently holds an endowed professorship under the Naddisy Family Foundation. Dr. Nadeau has served as a reviewer for NIH Study Sections, and a member of the American Lung Association Medical Board, CA. She serves on the Environmental Health Policy committee for the American Thoracic Society and is a Fellow in the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and is a member of ASCI (American Society of Clinical Investigation). Her laboratory focuses on the study of immunological mechanisms involved in the cause, diagnosis, and therapy for allergy and asthma.[3] In December, 2014 Sean Parker donated $24 million to Stanford to establish the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research at Stanford University,[4] with Dr. Nadeau as the director.[5][6]

Media

Dr. Nadeau and her work have made a number of media appearances supporting food allergy awareness and research:

Research

Dr. Nadeau's laboratory is working on scientific investigations of immune tolerance. Areas of research include:

  1. Primary immune defects in tolerance - Gene silencing helps demonstrate the role of STAT5A and STAT5B in human immunology and signaling.,,[18][19][20]
  2. Environmental effects on tolerance - Ambient air pollution, specifically polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in diesel exhaust have been demonstrated to affect FOXP3 gene expression via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in regulatory T-cells.,[21][22]
  3. Immunomodulatory agents effect on tolerance - Studying the innumologic mechanisms of oral immunotherapy via the effects on Foxp3, IL-10, IFN, and IL-4.,[23][24]
