Dr. Steven's Bio & CV

Dr. Gary Steven, MD:

Dr. Steven received both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin. After a residency in Internal Medicine, he completed a fellowship in Allergy and Immunology, both at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

 

Dr. Steven is board certified by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. He is actively involved in several medical organizations, including: The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, World Allergy Organization, American Medical Association, American College of Physicians, Association of Clinical Research Professionals and the Academy of Pharmaceutical Physicians and Investigators. Dr. Steven has been extensively involved in clinical research since 1994, participating in over 90 clinical trials of new medications and delivery devices for allergies and asthma, as well as new uses for existing medications. He is a Certified Principal Investigator (CPI), being counted among the first 180 physicians to earn this distinction in the first year this certification was established to ensure the highest possible degree of quality and patient safety. He is honored to be able to help bring new medications for allergies and asthma to the market, and thrives on being able to make available exciting new forms of treatment to his patients.

 

Dr. Steven established the Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center, S.C. as a solo, independent practice in February 2003 in order to continue to deliver high quality, comprehensive care without undue, external influences or expectations.

 

A resident of New Berlin for 16 years, Dr. Steven lives with his wife Rene, and their two children. In his leisure, he enjoys bicycling, photography, scuba diving, and woodworking.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

 

Principal investigator in private practice in multiple Phase III, and Phase IV pharmaceutical studies in asthma and allergy (see table on next page)

 Sub-investigator during Allergy/Immunology fellowship in several experimental and post-marketing asthma and allergy clinical protocols, including a steroid-sparing agent for asthma, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, four protocols involving two different leukotriene receptor antagonists, three studies of a non-CFC aerosol propellant, two protocols of a 5'-lipoxygenase inhibitor, one study of a chimeric anti-human IgE monoclonal antibody and some serological studies of latex allergy.

 Acted as a technician in many aspects of academic and industrial research in conjunction with doctoral work:

Monoclonal antibody production and characterization

Protein isolation and characterization

Cell surface marker analysis in leukemias and lymphomas

Morphological identification of hematopoietic cells

Immunologic and surgical procedures in rats and mice

Development and refinement of cellular immunological assays, including natural killer cells, cytolytic T lymphocytes, suppressor cells, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and T- and B-cell lymphoproliferative responses.
