At the Department
of Dermatology and Venerology
basic and clinical research
is performed in all relevant
areas of this field (acute
and chronic inflammatory dermatitis,
allergology and immunology,
andrology, infectious diseases,
dermatological oncology, surgical
dermatology, medicinal cosmetology).
The close connection between
laboratory and clinic enables
a fast implementation for the
benefit of patients (in the
sense of translationary research).
Particularly emphasized is
the clinical research. Numerous
studies, in all phases of drug
approval, are performed in
our study health care center.
Our own new drug concepts,
as well as novel therapy strategies
of industrial partners, are
tested. The goal is to improve
the therapeutic care of patients
with skin diseases. Particular
efforts are made to improve
treatment of psoriasis, which
is a chronic inflammatory skin
disease with a morbidity of
1% to 3%, and therefore, as
frequent as diabetes in the
Caucasian population. Further
indications among others are
atopic dermatitis and acne,
as well as oncological indications
(malignant melanoma, lymphoma
etc.). All studies are performed
according to the standards
of the ICH-GCP (international
conference on harmonization
- good clinical practice).
Our high quality standards
are guaranteed by regular internal
and external quality inspections. |
