We were founded in 1968 by Dr Harry Morrow Brown to undertake and fund research into the causes of asthma and allergy. During our history we have been involved with well-known treatments which are still widely-used today, for example Beconase and Flixonase the hayfever treatment sprays, and\u00a0 the first \u201cstandardised prick needle\u201d for skin prick testing of allergies developed by Dr Morrow Brown which continues to be used today.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Read More&#8221; color=&#8221;green&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%23|title:About%20Us&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;right-to-left&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;545,546,547&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_no&#8221; hide_prev_next_buttons=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInLeft&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696755672455{margin-bottom: 55px !important;margin-left: -100px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;home-block-title&#8221; _et_uniqid=&#8221;et_custom_uniqid_new_65226fd2b741f&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;3&#8243; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:76px|text_align:left|color:%23a7acbf|line_height:76px&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696755782955{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;border__bottom bb_4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;11\/12&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Our Journey So Far&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:34px|text_align:left|color:%2358841e|line_height:34px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;initial&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696755630710{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696755720501{margin-bottom: 4vw !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221; _et_uniqid=&#8221;et_custom_uniqid_new_65227004434f2&#8243;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;554&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1520243309089{margin-bottom: 3vw !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInLeft&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1685856225680{margin-bottom: 55px !important;margin-left: -100px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;home-block-title&#8221; _et_uniqid=&#8221;et_custom_uniqid_new_647c1fdd58e9a&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][vc_custom_heading<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":59,"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559,"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maara.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
