Personal profile
Research
My primary research area focuses on chronic inflammatory skin diseases, investigating the underlying molecular mechanisms driving these disorders. My work is highly translational, involving close collaboration with the clinical department to ensure rapid implementation of findings into patient-centered solutions. The goal is to identify new therapeutic targets that can lead to improved treatments for patients with inflammatory skin diseases.
