Professor Ronald van Ree is Professor of Molecular and Translational Allergology at the Department of Experimental Immunology of Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location AMC, in The Netherlands.
His research focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of allergic sensitization and the role of allergen structure and exogenous environmental, microbial and dietary factors in this process. Epidemiology of food allergy, in and outside Europe, has been at the center of his attention for the last two decades. Other areas of attention are molecular allergy diagnosis, allergen standardization of diagnostic and therapeutic allergen products, allergenicity risk assessment of novel proteins, and the development of innovative AIT approaches for the treatment of respiratory and food allergies, using recombinants and nano-technologies and novel adjuvants. Ronald van Ree currently has 417 peer-reviewed publications and an H-factor of 87.
Ronald van Ree has served on several editorial boards of peer-reviewed journals in the allergy field. He has served on the Board of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology as Vice-President for Congresses. He was the academic co-chair of the HESI committee on Protein Allergenicity, Toxicity and Bioinformatics (PATB), and chaired the peer-review panel of the COMPARE allergen database.
