Nutritional Evidence in Asthma and Allergy Pathogenesis
Dear all,
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar titled "Nutritional Evidence in Asthma and Allergy Pathogenesis." This event will explore the pivotal role of nutrition in the development and progression of asthma and allergies.
Our speakers are highly respected professionals in their fields. Dr. Lisa Wood, who has established an impressive career investigating the impact of dietary interventions on respiratory health, will present her research findings on how nutrition can influence asthma outcomes. Dr. Gennie Wang, known for her outstanding research portfolio investigating the impact of foods on respiratory health and asthma, with a focus on modifying the response to air pollution exposures. Lastly, Dr. Kozeta Miliku will share her groundbreaking research on the link between early life nutrition and the development of asthma and allergies.
This webinar is an excellent opportunity to engage with these experts, expand your knowledge, and gain valuable insights into this significant area of public health.
Please follow the link to register for the event. We look forward to your participation.
Best Regards,
Dr. Emily Brigham and Dr. Benita Hosseini

Prof. Lisa Wood
School of Biomedical Science and Pharmacy, University of Newcastle, Australia;
Professor Wood is Head of the School of Biomedical Science and Pharmacy at the University of Newcastle. She is a Registered Nutritionist whose research focuses on nutritional approaches to managing inflammation. Prof. Wood and her team have published extensively (>190 peer-reviewed journal articles) and their research has contributed to the development of disease management guidelines, including those published by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), British Thoracic Society, and the National Asthma Council. Her research has been recognized by various awards, including the Nutrition Society of Australia Medal in 2022. Dr. Wood is a Past President of the Nutrition Society of Australia and Director of the Australian Nutrition Trust, and she currently serves on the Asthma Australia Research Advisory Committee.
Dr. Gennie Wang
Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Ohio State University, USA;
Dr. Wang is an assistant professor in the division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at Ohio State University. She has clinical interests in the management of severe asthma and COPD. Her research focus is on understanding exposomic influences on chronic airways disease, particularly the intersection between the inhaled environment and dietary habits on airways health.
Dr. Kozeta Miliku
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Toronto, Canada;
Dr. Kozeta Miliku obtained her Medical Doctorate in 2013 at the Medical University of Tirana in Albania. She received her doctoral degree in Clinical Epidemiology in May 2017 at the Erasmus University Medical Centre in the Netherlands. Her PhD thesis entitled “Early life nutrition, growth and kidney function in children” studied the role of genetics, maternal health, and nutritional factors on fetal growth and childhood kidney function in children. Dr. Miliku’s postdoctoral research at the University of Manitoba (2017–2020) and McMaster (2020–2022) focused on understanding the role of nutrition and genetics in the developmental origins of chronic disease, including cardiometabolic health, asthma, and allergies, among Canadian children. At the University of Toronto, Dr. Miliku’s lab will continue to study the impact of nutrition through a life course perspective. The main two focuses will be preconception nutrition with a specific focus on the paternal diet, and nutrition during puberty and adolescence, a critical window of development.
