Current Research


HUSCRI uses its dedicated, world-class research resources (researchers and facilities) to conduct research to develop therapies and identify disparities in cutaneous diseases affecting people with skin of color. HUSCRI’s current focus of clinical and basic research for skin of color is in three areas: keloids and other fibroproliferative disorders, pigmentary discorders and melanoma. HUSCRI is also exploring identification of possible link/role of alterations in genetic, epigenetic and signal pathways to observed differences in the biology of ethnic skin disorders.
