Welcome to the website of the Collegium Internationale Allergologicum (CIA)
In the 1950’s, the founders of the CIA envisioned a society that would promote and celebrate excellence in basic science and clinical investigation in allergy and related fields.
The next Biennial Symposium will showcase the latest research from both members and non-members, and will include prestigious invited lectures by leading experts in the field.
Dr. Ohta is dedicated to understanding the pathogenesis of asthma, from allergic inflammation to airway remodeling, through basic research primarily using a murine asthma model. Notably, Dr. Ohta's studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of tiotropium and the role of macrophages in allergic inflammation, contributing significantly to asthma prevention and management guidelines in Japan.
