Our History

The research division of Allergy Medical Clinic (formerly called Allergy Research Foundation) was started in the early 1970’s by Dr. Sheldon Siegel. Since then, we have been devoted to clinical research in allergic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, food allergy, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and chronic sinusitis. During the past 40 years, we have participated in approximately 600 clinical trials (with over 400 in the past 20 years) and have worked on the development of many commonly used medications, including Proventil, Intal, Claritin, Advair, and Nasonex, just to name a few.
