In recent weeks, British drug company Circassia raised £200m on the London Stock Exchange to fund the commercial launch of a promising new cat allergy treatment, which was first developed by scientists at London’s Imperial College.
Following on from this Imperial College London will be updating attendees at SMi’s inaugural Allergies conference taking place on 9th and 10th July in Central London, UK.
The event will feature three presentations from the college entitled:
- Targeting memory The2 cells in allergic diseases, from man to model

Dr Guy Scadding, Clinical Research Fellow, Allergy & Clinical Immunology
- Mechanisms of SLIT: The role of dendric cells
Dr Kayhan Nouri-Aria, Lecturer, Allergy & Clinical Immunology
Speaking about his presentation, Dr Nouri-Aria commented:
"You will understand how the allergen is uptaken by professional APCs and transported to the local lymph nodes to induce tolerogenic immune responses ie the way in which SLIT works"
