Department of Dermatology & Skin Science
Our faculty are involved in rigorous and cutting-edge research through the Clinical Trials Unit and our five specialized laboratories:
- Skin Cancer Biology Laboratory
- Photomedicine Institute
- Hair Research Laboratory
- Immunodermatology Laboratory
- Molecular Medicine Laboratory
By analyzing the needs of the community, we design research projects to address those needs. The output of our research is new knowledge, new drugs, new techniques, new patents, and more – we take this information back to our clinical settings to help and treat out patients.
The Research Laboratories produce in excess of 50 publications and reports each year, published in high quality journals internationally. Click here for our Publications and Reports.
