Specializations

Pediatric dermatology and inflammatory skin disease

Clinical activity in dermatology includes treatment-focused research in atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, epidermolysis bullosa, Netherton syndrome, and other genetic skin disorders affecting children and adolescents.

  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Epidermolysis bullosa
  • Vitiligo
  • Netherton syndrome

Interest also extends to pruritic cholestatic disease and immune-mediated cutaneous inflammation, with a clear emphasis on pediatric therapeutic options.

Research activity covers a wide spectrum of leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors, with particular attention to aggressive and relapsed pediatric cancers.

  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
  • Acute myeloid leukemia
  • Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Neuroblastoma

Additional interests include relapsed or refractory disease, high-risk sarcomas, and targeted immunotherapy for pediatric cancer care.

Autoimmune, rheumatologic, and immune-mediated disorders
