Still fighting to cure peanut allergies
When 12-year-old Lauren Eglite saw a "What Would You Fight For?" feature about groundbreaking peanut allergy research, she asked her father, a pharmaceutical executive and Notre Dame alumnus, if he could help.That question sparked a unique partnership with Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor Basar Bilgicer, leading to the creation of Artin Immunology—a startup determined to transform Bilgicer’s research into a revolutionary drug.
