Dr Tim Brettig is a Paediatric Allergist and Immunologist, Post-doctoral fellow and senior study doctor with the Population Allergy group at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI). Tim's post-doctoral position is within the food allergy stream of the National Allergy Centre of Excellence (NACE), hosted by MCRI. He also works as a private allergist/immunologist at MACCS Medical group, a leading Melbourne private paediatric allergy group.
Tim’s research journey began in 2020, commencing his PhD with the population allergy group. In 2023, he completed his PhD with the University of Melbourne, titled “Exploring the investigation, diagnosis and clinical management of tree nut and peanut allergy”. This investigated the prevalence of cashew nut allergy, the evidence behind several diagnostic tests used in clinical food allergy assessment and explored novel approaches to diagnosis to provide both improved clinical outcome and reduced health costs.
Tim has experience in several research trials, encompassing prevention, treatment and epidemiology of food allergy. He is the sponsored trials team leader in population allergy, responsible for an increasing number of sponsored trials focussed on food allergy treatments.
He continues to combine his research work alongside his clinical role and is passionate to drive translation of research into clinical care. His current work involves food allergy treatments aimed to improve the lives of those living with food allergy.
