Research is our passion! Medical care and research in the Section of Immunology, Allergy & Rheumatology is increasingly coordinated through specialty centers. These centers are able to more efficiently leverage the unique resources at Baylor to deliver a higher standard of care and research that are not available through the typical private practice and other academic medical centers. View a listing of our center researchers.
Our current and planned centers are as follows:
