About the Division of Clinical Immunology

The Division of Clinical Immunology at Mount Sinai provides cutting-edge patient care, research, and education in the fields of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. It leads the nation in the research of immune deficiency diseases and translating these findings to the design of pioneering treatments. Patients come to Mount Sinai’s Division of Clinical Immunology from across the country for the diagnosis and treatment of these immune disorders. The expert physicians in the Division provide comprehensive outpatient and inpatient consultations, and offer the latest advances in diagnostic procedures that may include examination of antibodies and cell functions and genetic analysis.

The Division launched the Biologics And Clinical Immunology Cohort at Sinai (BACICS) registry of patients with chronic immune-mediated diseases who are receiving biologics. The registry allows state-of-the-art approaches to be applied to assess immunological and clinical responses that transcend previous single-disease and static paradigms. BACICS is designed to determine shared signals in risk-associated regulatory pathways relevant to multiple immune disorders and the efficacy of their treatments across time. Unlike other registries which focus on one-organ diseases, this novel registry is most suited to help fill research gaps that are wider in scope and may generalize to molecular mechanisms of multiple chronic diseases.

The Division of Clinical Immunology is the largest provider of allergy care in New York City. In addition to providing comprehensive evaluations for allergic disorders, its providers are recognized nationally for their expertise in the evaluation and treatment of asthma, atopic dermatitis, hereditary angioedema, and urticaria (hives).

The faculty is devoted to the training of the next generation of leaders in Clinical Immunology, including physicians and scientists, through fellowship and mentoring programs.
