Medical College of Wisconsin Dermatology Research
About Our Research
A strong research program is a major focus of the Department of Dermatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The department has programs in clinical, translational, and basic research. Fellowships are offered in immunodermatology, clinical research, autoimmune diseases affecting the skin, and pediatric dermatology.
Trainees in the research laboratories learn a wide variety of molecular biology and cell biology techniques that are applied to the study of skin disorders. Pediatric dermatology fellows participate in clinical projects related to cutaneous disorders of children.
