Description:
Clinical and translational research is expanding therapeutic options for our complex medical dermatology diseases. Successful clinical trials require collaborative efforts, validated disease severity tools, and scientific studies. New therapies and approaches to developing and evaluating these therapies in atopic dermatitis, CTCL, and autoimmune skin diseases will be presented. The safe implementation and monitoring of new modes of treatment will be discussed, including the timing of vaccinations. New training and career pathways that are expanding the borders of medical dermatology will be presented.
