A Call for Support by Dr. Scott Commins, MD, PhD

The Projects

We have exciting projects that I believe will form important clinical trials for alpha-gal allergy, including:

A collaboration to develop an under-the-tongue nanoparticle treatment
A vaccine to prevent additional tick bites from prolonging the allergy
The use of an existing medication in a novel way for food allergy desensitization

In addition, we are working with leaders in agriculture to make available alpha-gal deficient pigs (which would be a safe source of heart valves, heparin, gelatin and even pork meat).

An Urgent Need for Funds

I need help to bring these projects to fruition quickly.
Funding agencies have largely ignored alpha-gal allergy, believing it to be an inconvenience to adults who simply miss eating red meat.
You and I both know it goes well beyond not ordering prime rib. Therefore, I am embarking on a campaign for alpha-gal allergy that will fund advances in patient care and scientific work for the next five years.

A Campaign for Alpha-gal Allergy

Longitudinal support will allow me to:

Establish a website for up-to-date alpha-gal allergy information
Create a registry to document the need for increased awareness
Begin much needed clinical trials
Hire the brightest scientists
Train the next generation of doctors about alpha-gal allergy
Ultimately, discover a treatment for the allergy
