Fellows in the CIA training program see the full spectrum of immunologic disease, including allergy, asthma, immune deficiency, food allergy, and autoimmune disease.
The fellowship program has 4 active fellows, 8 full-time faculty, and two administrative support staff, plus several active research collaborations with faculty across the campus, the United States and the world.
Research programs for fellows are available throughout the UCLA campus, and include projects in asthma, allergic sensitization and air pollution, genetic epidemiology of immune deficiency, food allergy, antibody replacement, and autoimmune disease.
The mission of our program is to develop physician scientists with a high level of expertise in the identification and management of immunologic disease and the ability to contribute new knowledge to their field. The full detailed program with objectives is found here.
Program specific policies can be found here.
