Dermatology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A dermatology department that explores hereditary skin diseases and skin tumors through both clinical care and research.
AboutAbout the lab
Training dermatologists who excel in both clinical practice and science.
The dermatology department works in the University of Tsukuba Hospital on clinical care, education, and research related to skin diseases.
In research, the team of Professor Toshifumi Nomura focuses on hereditary skin diseases, and the team of Associate Professor Yoshiyuki Nakamura focuses mainly on skin tumors and hidradenitis suppurativa.
In the greeting on its recruitment page for new department members, the department describes dermatology as a field in which clinical practice (macro) and research (micro) fit together logically.
It aims to train dermatologists who excel in both clinical practice and science and who can explain diseases in their own words.
Key terms
- Ichthyosis
- A hereditary skin disease. The Nomura team uses it as an entry point for research that contributes to the advancement of hereditary diseases as a whole
- Palmoplantar keratoderma
- A hereditary skin disease. Together with ichthyosis, it is an entry point for the Nomura team's research, which is elucidating the pathology of the Nagashima type
- Hidradenitis suppurativa
- A skin disease. The Nakamura team investigates its causes and mechanisms, along with those of skin tumors, using animal models
ResearchResearch themes
Research is carried out by two teams, the Nomura team and the Nakamura team. The Nomura team aims for findings that advance the diagnosis and treatment of hereditary diseases, and the Nakamura team aims for findings that arise from questions raised in clinical care and can be returned to clinical practice.
*Illustrative imagePathology and treatment of hereditary skin diseases
Using ichthyosis and palmoplantar keratoderma as entry points, the lab conducts research that contributes to the advancement of hereditary diseases as a whole. Current work centers on elucidating the pathology of Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratoderma, the spontaneous healing mechanism of ichthyosis with confetti, and the degradation mechanism of mutant filaggrin mRNA.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of skin tumors and hidradenitis suppurativa
The lab investigates the causes and mechanisms of skin tumors and hidradenitis suppurativa, mainly using animal models. Starting from simple questions that arise in everyday clinical care, it aims to obtain findings that can be returned to clinical practice.
