Dr. Hernandez-Trujillo: “I enjoy working on AllergyWatch because it is an opportunity to share tips on topics which affect the practicing allergist/immunologist in this age of ever-changing health care. I also appreciate the opportunity to share reviews on topics that are increasingly important, such as the effects of mental health on atopic disease and health care disparities.”
Samantha M. Knox, MD
La Crosse, WI
Dr. Knox: “Being an editor for AllergyWatch keeps me engaged, not only with the dominant allergy journals, but also with a variety of other medical journals. I am excited to see what research has been published with each cycle and how this could be important for all of our practices.”
Gerald B. Lee, MD

Dr. Lee: “I absolutely enjoy discussing AllergyWatch with my co-editors on the AllergyTalk podcast. The podcast is a wonderful opportunity to integrate AllergyWatch articles and our own clinical experiences to explore how we can integrate the latest advances into practice.”

Timothy Chow, MD
Dallas, TX
Dr. Chow: “One of the things that I enjoy most about working on AllergyWatch is the opportunity to consider specifically how studies may (or may not) impact allergists in their day-to-day practice. It’s a fun exercise to think about how the often incremental steps taken in published research fit together to reinforce or change our practice.”
Iris Otani, MD
San Francisco, CA
Dr. Otani: “I have always appreciated the AllergyWatch publication as a way to help stay updated with the literature and was excited to join the editorial board.”

Anthony Montanaro, MD, FACAAI
Associate Editor, Retired
Dr. Montanaro retired at the end of 2023 as Associate Editor of AllergyWatch.
Dr. Montanaro: “I had the privilege of working on AllergyWatch since the start of the publication. It has been a pleasure to share in the success of this valuable resource with our readership.”
Timothy O’Brien, original writer, who worked on AllergyWatch from 1999 through 2023.
Timothy O’Brien: “Although I have covered new findings from essentially every medial specialty, by far I have devoted the most time and energy to Allergy/Immunology. I have been the AllergyWatch writer since the first issue, and it has been fascinating to observe and write about the latest trends and ideas as they unfold: the “Hygiene Hypothesis” and “Atopic March,” the rising rates of childhood asthma and food allergies, the LEAP study, and the rise of biologic therapies (to name a few). I’m pleased and proud to have had the chance to focus on this fascinating material. Also to have worked with so many great Editors and Associate Editors over the years, as well as with our crack publishing and production team!”
