Stacie Jones, MD

Stacie M. Jones, M.D. is Professor of Pediatrics, Section of Allergy and Immunology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH). She is a board-certified specialist in Pediatrics and Allergy and Immunology, and she has an active clinical practice in Allergy and Immunology with an emphasis on food allergy.

Dr. Jones serves as the Director of the Arkansas Children's Food Allergy Program, encompassing a group of dedicated and talented faculty, research nurse coordinators, research dieticians, clinical research coordinators, and laboratory technicians. Dr. Jones also serves on the Board of Directors (Vice Chair) for the Arkansas Children's Research Institute (ACRI).

Dr. Jones' research focuses on developing new therapies for children and adults with food allergy and eosinophilic esophagitis, understanding mechanisms of disease toward discovery of novel biomarkers, evaluating targets for disease prevention and defining child health outcomes when food allergy, nutrition and food insecurity intersect - work that is conducted through an active collaborative research network. Dr. Jones is the principal investigator at ACRI for the both the NIH-funded Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) and the NIH-funded Immune Tolerance Network and is a key investigator for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the FARE Clinical Research Center and Discovery Center of Distinction. She has led more than 100 industry-sponsored clinical trials in food allergy and related fields. Dr. Jones also has long-standing interest and support for work focused on the exploration of novel disease mechanisms in asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis through research collaborations employing human tissue platforms. Dr. Jones is a committed research and career development mentor for faculty at UAMS/ACH and beyond and is also an active educator and research mentor for undergraduate, graduate and medical students and for clinical residents and fellows in training - a commitment grounded in her core belief in the power of discovery that has tremendous capacity for impactful advancement in child health.
