Diagnostic and Prognostic Tissue-based Biomarker Assays for Inflammatory Dermatoses

Overview

About this study

Inflammatory dermatoses are sometimes difficult to diagnose with accuracy using current methods (clinical examination and routine skin biopsy). Targeted therapies (biologics) are available for severe inflammatory dermatoses, but selection of which particular biologic agent to use is often arbitrary. Trials of these medications are expensive and may be multiple before an effective treatment is found.
We propose to develop tissue-based biomarker assays for the diagnosis and therapeutic prognosis for inflammatory skin diseases.
