Taking lessons learned in basic science laboratories, and transferring these to applications that impact patient care is the essence of translational research at Johns Hopkins.  Clinical research provides a means for cutting-edge discoveries to be tested with patients after they are already proven to be safe.

Areas of clinical and translational research at Johns Hopkins Dermatology currently include:

• Aesthetic Research
• Ethnic Skin Research
• Melanoma Research
• Pediatric Research
• Wound Research
• Skin Regeneration Research

Our Cutaneous Translational Research Program, or CTReP, is our center for scientists to collaborate and conduct clinical research trials.
