Dermatology clinical trials
About us
The Alfred's dermatology department is a large tertiary referral centre for adults with all inflammatory and genetic skin conditions, as well as non-melanoma skin cancers.
The unit is focused on new treatments for common conditions such as eczema and psoriasis as well as advancements in the treatment of more rare conditions such as vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, bullous pemphigoid and urticaria.
Our vision
To advance the development of new treatments for acute severe and chronic on-going skin conditions. We want to improve the quality of life for patients with skin disease and bring more awareness to common and rarer skin conditions.
