Dr. Stacie Jones is an Associate Professor within the Department of Pediatrics and the Section Chief of Allergy and Immunology at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Dr. Jones’ research is focused in the areas of both clinical and translational science research. Her primary area of research focuses on basic science and translational research related to asthma mechanisms and clinical and translational studies in food allergy. In collaboration with Dr. Richard Kurten, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Dr. Jones has ongoing projects conducted in the Lung Cell Biology Laboratory related to airway changes and responsiveness to medications. Dr. Jones’ clinical research is focused on developing new therapies for children with food allergy. The work conducted at ACHRI by Dr. Jones with partners, Dr. Tamara Perry and Dr. Amy Scurlock, in collaboration with Dr. Wesley Burks at Duke University, is pioneering new therapies for children with peanut allergy. Dr. Jones and her team are also part of the 5-center, NIH-funded, Consortium of Food Allergy Research, developed to improve understanding of mechanisms of food allergy and to develop new treatments for food allergic children and adults. Additionally, Dr. Jones’ clinical research includes studies to improve efficacious, safe drug labeling for medications related to asthma and allergic disease in children. Additionally, in collaboration with Dr. Tamara Perry, Dr. Jones is involved in applied research with the primary focus on improving health outcomes for high-risk children with asthma. These studies currently focus on community intervention and case-management programs targeted at high-risk asthmatic children.
