Our Humble Beginnings

Dr. James Day (MD) and Dr. Reg Clark (P Eng Chem at Queen’s University) began working on an allergen delivery system in 1981, an evolution based on this research collaboration for the investigation of the effects of urea formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) on the human respiratory system.

New Dust Mite Unit

The EEU Dust Mite Unit is a unique tool designed to reproduce real world levels of allergen for clinical studies. It allows for the replication of the environment in which symptoms will manifest themselves in volunteer participants. The participants-5 to 45 per session-are exposed to their suspected allergen in a controlled environment, where physicians and researchers detect and record their response to different medications and dose.
