Research in the Department of Dermatology
The basic and translational science research teams in the Department of Dermatology are using leading-edge technologies to understand both normal skin biology and a number of inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases.
Within the department's laboratories, investigators use a variety of model systems, including human patient samples, to discover the mechanisms underlying disease development and identify novel biological targets for future therapies.
Researchers work closely with clinical colleagues, bioinformaticians and other researchers to provide a multidisciplinary team approach to combating skin diseases.
