About

Dr. Virkud is a physician scientist specializing in the field of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.

Dr. Virkud‘s Lab focuses on the phenotyping different patients with food allergy and understanding the mechanisms of investigational therapies for food allergy. Areas of active investigation include (1) safety of investigational therapies such as oral immunotherapy and predicting which patients are most likely to benefit, (2) studying metabolite and RNA profiles of patients with food allergy, (3) investigating the early onset of IgE mediated and non-IgE mediated disease, like cow’s milk protein intolerance, in collaboration with the Gastrointestinal Microbiome and Allergic Proctocolitis (GMAP) Study at MGH, (4) developing improved transitional programs to prepare adolescents to navigate adulthood with food allergies.
