Hannah Hunter

Hannah Hunter is a specialist allergy dietitian at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and the lead author of a groundbreaking study on peanut allergy desensitization. Her work focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with severe food allergies, highlighting the significant psychological burden these conditions impose. In the recent Grown Up Peanut Immunotherapy (GUPI) trial, she reported that many participants experienced life-changing results, allowing them to consume peanuts daily without fear of severe allergic reactions. Hunter's research contributes to a growing body of evidence suggesting that adults can benefit from immunotherapy traditionally used for children.
