People
Innovation and progress depend on the unique perspectives, experiences, and dedication of individuals. Here we shine the spotlight on specialty leaders who continuously work to forge the paths toward improved patient care.
The Translational Educator
Listening to Dr. Victoria Werth lecture in dermatology is like taking a master class —one where you hang onto every word and commit to developing your career with as high a degree of intention as she has.
A Practice of Care
Dr. William Sawchuk first learned about dermatology when he was a boy and his brother needed treatment for a severe case of acne. The family met with the local dermatologist, a hardship for a blue-collar family, who provided the necessary treatment.
New Format, Same Mission
As we launch in a new online format, I am reminded that the purpose of this publication remains the same: to share the latest discoveries in investigative dermatology in a practical and easily digestible format. As a result, we will continue to feature articles imparting cutting-edge scientific and clinical progress in the specialty, and highlight today’s researchers too.
Replacing Opinions With Facts
The creation of the MAC allowed Dr. Heidi T. Jacobe to plunge into a research program of extensive breadth and depth that has steadily replaced opinions with facts and profoundly improved patient care.
Making the Link
The Sun Pharma Research Award allows Dr. Johann E. Gudjonsson to take preliminary data indicating a fundamental mechanism in autoimmunity, and pursue this in depth in his SLE mouse model and in human SLE subjects.
Probing Skin’s Microbiome
The Sun Pharma Research Award provides Dr. Tiffany Scharschmidt with the focus and freedom to address clinically translational aspects of her research in pediatric atopic dermatitis.
