Specializations

Dermatology and Inflammatory Skin Disease

Robert Rissmann’s clinical research in Translational Dermatology includes therapeutic work in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic urticaria, with attention to skin inflammation, itch, and barrier-related disease activity.

  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Psoriasis
  • Chronic spontaneous urticaria
  • Chronic inducible urticaria

His trial involvement also extends to eczema-related therapeutic assessment and cutaneous immune-mediated conditions.

Neurology and Neurodegenerative Disorders

His research landscape includes multiple neurological indications, with a strong focus on Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and inherited neuromuscular disorders such as facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy.

  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Progressive multiple sclerosis
  • Epilepsy
  • Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Additional interests include frontotemporal dementia, stroke, and disorders linked to altered GABAergic signaling and neuronal excitability.

Pain Medicine and Neuropathic Pain

A major therapeutic area is chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, alongside broader studies in analgesia and sensory dysfunction.

  • Chronic neuropathic pain
  • Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
  • Opioid-induced respiratory depression
  • Opioid use disorder

His work also covers pain-related pharmacology in healthy volunteers and participants with persistent pain syndromes.

Autoimmune, Rheumatologic, and Lupus Conditions

Robert Rissmann is involved in clinical research across systemic immune-mediated diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and cutaneous lupus variants, reflecting a broad interest in autoimmunity and inflammatory disease.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Discoid lupus erythematosus
  • Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus

His portfolio also includes immune system diseases and broader inflammatory diseases with dermatologic and systemic overlap.

Neuropsychiatry, Respiratory, and Translational Pharmacology

His clinical trial activity spans major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and related neuropsychiatric conditions, together with studies in opioid-induced respiratory depression and healthy-volunteer pharmacology.

  • Major depressive disorder
  • Generalized anxiety disorder
  • Opioid-induced respiratory depression
  • Healthy volunteer pharmacology

His research also touches on cortical excitability, remyelination, and other translational CNS endpoints relevant to medical innovation.
