Presenter: Dr Tara Carr is a board-certified Allergist/Immunologist physician and Professor of Medicine and Otolaryngology at the University of Arizona with clinical, research, and educational passions. Dr Carr attended medical school at the University of Virginia, where she became fascinated by the field of Allergy & Immunology. She completed her Internal Medicine residency and Allergy & Immunology fellowship at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, IL, with an emphasis on translational research of airways inflammation and immune dysregulation. She joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 2011 and has since established and leads the Adult Allergy & Immunology Clinic at the Banner University Medicine North Campus in Tucson. She started the first ACGME-accredited Allergy/Immunology Fellowship Program in the state of Arizona, for which she serves as Program Director, and is passionate about teaching pediatricians and internists the nuance of this specialized field. In her research career, Dr Carr is focused on studying the impact of environmental exposures on development and heterogeneity of allergic disease, with an emphasis on asthma. Dr Carr has contributed to national collaborative research networks studying novel treatments of asthma for children and adults. Her highly collaborative laboratory at Bio5 serves as biorepository for multiple clinical cohorts and utilizes a broad range of experimental methods to describe the immunological characteristics of asthma and allergic disease.
