Women In Allergy

Allergist and immunologist Laura A. Wang, MD, has long had a passion for promoting women’s health and children’s health within the allergy field.

After spending 17 years working as an allergist in Alaska, Melinda M. Rathkopf, MD, MBA, made a big career change in 2023.

Vanessa Murphy, PhD, started her research career in a lab studying preterm birth, which is where she fell in love with pregnancy research.

Theresa Bingemann, MD, FACAAI, FAAAAI, found a role that was perfect for her. Combining her passion for learning and teaching, the program director of University of Rochester’s Allergy and Immunology Fellowship was a dream career.

In this video, Priya J. Bansal, MD, FAAAAI, FACAAI, introduces Healio’s Women in Allergy and the video corner, where she will share regular pearls, advice and updates.

Jennifer Namazy, MD, FAAAAI, credits many of her achievements to the mentors she had in her early career. Now as a professor of clinical medicine at Scripps Clinic Medical Group, she gets to be a mentor to a new generation of allergists.

Payel Gupta, MD, FACAAI, says the busier she is, the more efficient she is, which may explain how she is able to balance caring for patients, running a company, hosting a podcast and teaching.

Healio has launched Women in Allergy, an initiative that aims to advance the work of women in allergy by providing insights for overcoming challenges and assistance in achieving better health care.
