Dermatology x Bioengineering
The Dermatologic Bioengineering Laboratory is located in the Department of Dermatology at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania. We are a thriving community of expert clinicians, biologists, engineers, and chemists with a shared goal of solving clinical dermatology challenges that affect human health. We do this by identifying gaps in clinical care, overcoming these gaps with bioengineering, and then translating our advances back into the clinic. Specific interests in our laboratory include biomaterials, hydrogels, polymer chemistry, polymer-drug conjugates, drug delivery, biofabrication, tissue engineering, diagnostics, and therapeutic development. Our clinical interests include autoimmune skin disease, wound healing, scarring, calcifying disorders, and hair loss.
