The Division of Immunology at The University of Cincinnati was established in 1965 by the Department of Internal Medicine and provides a program of teaching for medical and postgraduate students, patient care for inpatients and outpatients, and a broad research program in rheumatic, allergic and general immunological diseases.

Currently there are 20 full-time, part-time and volunteer physicians and basic scientists engaged in these activities. Referral, diagnostic and treatment clinics have been established at all the major hospitals of the Medical Center. There is active collaboration with both pediatric rheumatology and pediatric allergy.

The division is also one of the National Institutes of Aramis Disease Data Base Centers, NIAMS Cooperative Systemmatic Study in Rheumatic Disease Collaborating Clinic and NIAID Immunotherapy Study Center.

Our immunology faculty participates in the NetWellness " Ask-An-Expert " program. NetWellness is an Ohio-sponsored multi-institutional consortium designed to provide health information to the public. More information on NetWellness, including " Ask-An-Expert, " is available at http://www.netwellness.org.
