Rutgers Attacks Asthma
A Breakthrough in Identifying and Monitoring the Disease
One in four children in dense urban areas have asthma, far outpacing the national average. Our researchers at the Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine and Science developed a simple blood test to diagnose and manage the disease, replacing difficult breathing tests. Rutgers research improves outcomes and confronts life-threatening health challenges for children and their families.
