Immune Tolerance Network

Description

The Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) is an international clinical research consortium sponsored by NIAID, part of the National Institutes of Health. Our mission is to accelerate the clinical development of immune tolerance therapies. Immune tolerance therapies reprogram the immune system in a highly specific manner so that disease-causing immune responses are stopped while maintaining the immune system’s ability to combat pathogen infection.

We provide our employees with a fast-paced, challenging work environment with competitive compensation and a full range of comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental and vision, as well as a generous leave program, work/life balance and retirement plans.

Allergy and asthma are intertwined in many ways. Allergies during infancy often precede the development of asthma. Additionally, Allergies can worsen asthma and induce an attack. Allergies occur when the body's immune system over-reacts to a more or less harmless substance. Food and drug allergies can be particularly dangerous, as they can often cause anaphylaxis, a rapid and severe reaction that can lead to shock. The available treatments for allergies are varied and only relieve symptoms without curing the underlying problem.
