Research

Research interests

Immunopharmacology and pharmacogenomics, with a focus on vaccinology and drug adverse events including drug allergy

 

Vaccinology projects:

  • Cellular immunity underlying measles vaccine failures
  • Inborn error of immunity (primary immunodeficiencies) as a cause of vaccine failures in preventing severe infections due to Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine effectiveness – epidemiology and immune mechanisms

Drug Adverse Events projects:

  • Immediate hypersensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics – epidemiology, diagnostics and immune mechanisms, genetic and genomic predisposition
  • Delayed hypersensitivities to anticonvulsants – epidemiology, diagnostics and immune mechanisms, genetic and genomic predisposition
  • Immune mechanisms underlying induction of temporary tolerance to medications or immunotherapies (drug desensitization) in children, particularly to chemotherapeutics and antimicrobials

  • Dr Rosa Duque serves as a supervisor for students pursuing master’s, PhD and/or MD degrees who has areas of interest in medical sciences, pharmacology, immunology and allergy, infectious diseases, genetics and genomics, epidemiology and biostatistics

 

Clinical Service

 

Allergy, immunology, infectious diseases, general paediatrics

 

Dr. Rosa Duque’s major clinical focus is on drug allergy.  He is currently leading drug allergy services at multiple clinical sites by honorary appointments.  Assessment tools for complex drug allergy cases include relevant history taking, examinations, skin testing, genetic testing, interpretation of results performed by our Clinical Immunology Laboratory, and drug provocative tests.  Patients can be delabeled and receive the medication freely if the drug allergy is ruled out, or they may benefit from induction of temporary tolerance (drug desensitization) to the medications or immunotherapies.  Dr. Rosa Duque welcomes clinical enquiries, formal consultations and research collaborations from within Hong Kong and worldwide.

 

Dr. Rosa Duque also provides care to patients with other complex allergic disorders, such as food allergies, recurrent anaphylaxis, angioedemas, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma.

 

Other services include inpatient consultation and outpatient management of inborn error of immunity (primary immunodeficiencies) and rare infectious diseases.

 

He attends regular ward rounds in the paediatric specialty units at Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong.
