It looks safe.

But food allergies aren’t visible and even small exposures can carry serious risk for some individuals.

That’s why families ask questions others may not think to ask.

And why research into diagnosis, prevention, and treatment matters.

Follow our page to stay informed about advances in food allergy science and safer futures for children.

How do early life experiences influence long-term health?

The SYSTEMAATIC Project is recruiting Northern California adults (ages 18–75) to participate in research exploring the long-term effects of stress.

We are currently seeking adults both with and without a history of significant childhood stress to participate.

Participation includes:
• 2 in-person visits
• Virtual check-ins
• Compensation provided

Your participation can help researchers better understand and improve care for stress-related conditions.
