My laboratory focuses its research on psoriasis and is particularly interested in therapeutics that lessen the impact of this disease. Psoriasis is a life-long chronic inflammatory skin disorder that afflicts about 5 million people in the United States. Although the precise mechanisms behind the disease remain unknown, inappropriate immune function leads to increased generation of skin cells that cause painful skin lesions anywhere on the body. We have conducted clinical trials testing the efficacy of several recombinant therapeutics and are also exploring the basic mechanisms by which these treatments ameliorate the condition.
