We offer adult and pediatric medical and surgical/laser services as well as Mohs surgery and 皮肤病理学. The department strives to cover a broad scope of health care services with unique perspective given to our additional missions of skin biology and disease research and education. Our board-certified dermatologists represent regional, national, and international leaders in dermatology and skin biology research, clinical outcomes research and medical education.
Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated by our vibrant basic science and clinical research activities. 教师 are involved in basic sciences studies that cover a broad spectrum of diseases that affect the skin, from searching for better ways to treat psoriasis to how immunocytes and immunosuppressants affect our aging skin. Our clinical studies are examining issues like how analyzing the protein in the roots of hair can help measure protein malnutrition and are helping find new treatments for acne, among other things.
The skin’s protective barrier covers our body and gives rise to our hair, nails and sweat glands. 此外，皮肤中的神经感觉触觉、热、冷和压力。 The skin protects virtually all other organs, plays a key role in cooling us off when we get hot and retaining heat when we get cold. The skin is the only organ visible to the entire world. Dermatologists are the specialists who are trained to provide diagnosis and management of skin, hair and nails to patients of all ages. The medical practice of dermatology involves the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of skin problems. Disorders of the skin include not only life threatening skin cancers and immune disorders, but also include profoundly uncomfortable skin conditions that may dramatically alter appearances with resultant effects on self-confidence.
