Who We Are
The GPAC Study is a clinical trial conducted by the Immune
Tolerance Network together with researchers from five clinical centres in
Australia, USA and Europe. The study is officially sponsored by the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Immune Tolerance Network
The Immune Tolerance Network is an international collaboration of researchers
that conduct clinical research in new immune tolerance therapies – highly
targeted treatments that prevent harmful immune responses, while leaving the
protective immune response unhindered.
Targeting autoimmune diseases, islet, kidney and liver transplantation and
allergy and asthma the ITN is supported by the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases, the National Institutes for Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Telethon Institute for Child Health Research
The Telethon Institute for Child Health Research aims to improve and promote the
health and well-being of all children through the unique application of
multidisciplinary research. The Divisions of Clinical Sciences and Cell Biology,
headed by Professor Peter Sly and Professor Patrick Holt, focus on research in
the areas of respiratory physiology, clinical asthma studies, cystic fibrosis
and vaccine trials. The Institute is recognized as a world leader in research in
the prevention and treatment of asthma. We are focusing on how asthma develops,
better ways to manage and monitor asthma and new treatments.
