Food Allergy Science Initiative

The Food Allergy Science Initiative (FASI) is a non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dedicated to tackling the growing issue of food allergies. Founded in 2016 at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, FASI became an independent 501(c)(3) in 2021. With a team of over 100 researchers and 20 world-class labs spread across the United States, FASI is a leading force in food allergy research. FASI focuses on uncovering the root causes of food allergies and developing innovative therapies to treat and ultimately cure them. Their research explores various aspects of food allergies, including the gut-brain axis, with a multidisciplinary approach encompassing immunology, neuroscience, computational biology, and engineering. Their ultimate goal is to make a significant impact on the lives of the 32 million Americans affected by food allergies, including 8% of children. As an independent research organization, FASI collaborates with top scientists from diverse fields to advance understanding and treatment of food allergies. They are committed to rigorous scientific research and translating their discoveries into effective therapies.
