Melbourne Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Consultants (MAAIC) is a specialist medical practice and clinical research center based in Melbourne, Australia, founded and led by Professor Jo Douglass AO. The clinic provides expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of immunological conditions, including severe asthma, hay fever, food allergies, and primary immunodeficiencies. Beyond clinical care, the practice is a significant site for clinical trials, collaborating with major pharmaceutical companies such as GSK, AstraZeneca, and Novartis to evaluate novel biologics and immunotherapies. Professor Douglass also co-leads the Snow Centre for Immune Health, a major $100 million research initiative focused on personalized medicine and the translation of immunological discoveries into clinical practice. The practice serves as a key link between academic research at institutions like WEHI and the Royal Melbourne Hospital and real-world patient care.
