Scientific Focus
Model Systems of Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Our overall aim is the identification, validation and translation of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases.
Most projects focus on autoimmune skin blistering diseases, such as epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, bullous pemphigoid or pemphigus. In addition, we have established model systems for psoriasis, SLE and contact dermatitis.
We believe that cooperations with other academic centers and industry are the key to contribute to the high medical need to develop effective and save treatment options for patients affected by chronic skin inflammatory diseases. Please fell free to contact us if you are interested in our reagents or if you would like to start a cooperation.
