Biography

Dr Munblit's leads The Core Outcome Measures for Food Allergy (COMFA) COST Action, approved by the EU commissioners in June 2019. This project is aiming to define the scope and applicability of food allergy Core Outcome sets and develop Core Outcome sets and measurement tools for food allergy.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Munblit has been leading the Stop COVID cohort at Sechenov University in Moscow, Russia.

He is also heavily involved in International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) post-covid condition research co-leading ISARIC Global COVID-19 paediatric follow-up. Daniel co-leads PC-COS project, an initiative aiming to establish Core Outcome Set for post-covid condition.

Dr Munblit's research also focused on advocating for stronger regulation of the infant formula industry. He has highlighted the issue of commercial influence in the overdiagnosis of cow's milk allergy in England, resulting in excessive use of specialised formula and clinical advice that can undermine breastfeeding. Another study that he led has revealed that many infant formula products make unsubstantiated health and nutrition claims, as reported in a recent publication in the BMJ.
