National Allergy Centre of Excellence

Australia is the allergy capital of the world with more than five million people living with drug, food, insect and respiratory allergy. As the countrys peak allergy research body, we want to change that. The National Allergy Centre of Excellence (NACE), led by Director Associate Professor Kirsten Perrett, develops tools and resources to facilitate and accelerate allergy research. Four broad pillars will underpin our national plan of action: 1. An Allergy Research Hub will oversee a Clinical Trials Network and an Allergy Studies Directory to improve access to treatments. 2. A Repository and Discovery Hub will harness the power of big data analysis to drive individualised healthcare. 3. An Evidence and Translation Hub will establish living systematic reviews to seamlessly connect evidence and practice. 4. A Training and Innovation Hub will support and mentor the next generation of allergy experts
