Clinical Research Coordinator

This is a unique opportunity to be a key contributor to the Systems Biology of Early Atopy (SUNBEAM) study, which is part of a network of researchers studying food allergy. SUNBEAM is part of the UW Asthma, Allergy and Pulmonary Research Center and the Department of Pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. The SUNBEAM study is focused on learning how many factors in early life can relate to asthma and food allergies. Food allergy affects approximately 5-10% of young children, with highest incidence in the first year of life. Food allergy accounts for almost $25 billion per year in U.S. costs. Atopic dermatitis (also known as eczema) is a major risk factor for food allergy and other allergic diseases, and atopic dermatitis has a significant intrinsic impact on child health. Currently, there is no reliable way to identify those infants destined to develop atopic disease who would benefit from targeted prevention strategies. The goal of this study is to establish a birth cohort that collects prenatal and early life bio-samples and environmental samples and rigorously phenotypes young children for food allergy and atopic dermatitis to identify prenatal and early life markers of high risk for food allergy and atopic dermatitis, as well as biological pathways (endotypes) that result in these conditions.

The SUNBEAM Clinical Coordinator will work in collaboration with the Principal Investigator, other SUNBEAM coordinators and lab staff, and ancillary staff including but not limited to physicians and researchers to conduct the SUNBEAM protocol. Clinical assessments will be conducted, questionnaire information collected, and biological and environmental samples collected on the mother and child in the prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal periods of the child's life.
