The Johns Hopkins Department of Dermatology has a strong tradition in scientific research. Defining the molecular basis of dermatologic diseases, particularly autoimmune diseases, has established the department as a leading center for the investigation of many skin diseases. The Department of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins offers subspecality and consultative care for individuals with complex dermatologic disease including lymphoma, melanoma, auto-immune disorders, contact dermatitis, transplant and surgery. Dermatologists collaborate with other scientists in the fields of immunology, oncology, allergy, rheumatology and molecular biology in a team setting to provide maximum benefit to our patients.
Our
mission is to provide excellence in research, teaching and patient care.
With the thought of patient care, we have added a new educational website:
HopkinsSkinCancer.org. Here you will be able to access new information
pertaining to melanoma and skin cancer for both patient and healthcare
provider.
We continue daily to search for pertinent information to update our website.
This is to better serve our patients and colleagues.
