The Clinical Studies Unit

The Clinical Studies Unit is a centralized research area to enhance the Department's research programs in dermatologic diseases. The Unit, headed by Medical Director Dr. Joel M. Gelfand and Manager and Head Research Nurse Coordinator Jennifer Williams, will provide enhanced research support to various research programs.

The Unit focuses on common diseases such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, as well as rare diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and auto-immune blistering diseases. The Clinical Studies Unit receives referrals for patients to participate in clinical trials from the over 50,000 patients seen annually in the Department of Dermatology and the over 60 community dermatologists on our affiliated faculty. Each year over 3000 eczema, 1000 psoriasis, 1600 acne, 300 cutaneous T cell lymphoma and 200 blistering disease patients are seen in the Department.
