Impossible Dream?

I currently study pharmacy at university. During my first year I randomly heard about the current advancements in treatment for peanut allergies and this got me thinking about how that would be something I'd love to do research into in the future, using my degree. The only issue is, being on this subreddit, I myself have a severe peanut allergy...

I can be in the same room as a peanut, but if that bad-boy gets into my bloodstream- its game over. So now I wonder if it's even something I'd be allowed to work on. I'm not expecting anyone to know if it is at all possible, mainly posted just for opinions or if anyone does have advice or knows where to find it. I just love the idea of being someone with a severe peanut allergy trying to help prevent others and free ourselves from having to endure the things we do on a daily basis.
