Psoriasis Center of Research Translation (CORT)
The Psoriasis Center of Research Translation (CORT) is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. The goal of the Center is to advance translational discovery and application in psoriasis using a novel approach that tightly integrates and coordinates health informatics research, basic research, and preclinical research with cutting-edge systems biology, patient-centered data mining, and advanced meta-analytics.
Center for Medical Mycology
Center for Medical Mycology (CMM) is a unique institutional resource for the study of fungal diseases from the test tube to the patient, which serves as a mycology reference center providing services to clinicians and the pharmaceutical industry. We also perform molecular level research on areas including fungal pathogenesis, virulence and formation of fungal biofilm, as well as clinically relevant studies in fungal biology. The faculty and staff at the Center possess high ethical standards and are committed to being effective, responsible and accountable.
Skin Diseases Research Center
The SDRC mission is to add value to SDRC investigators through strength of focus on uniting basic and translational skin science. The vision of the SDRC is to enhance career development and to fuel the projects of new and experienced investigators with a rich matrix of resources in order to speed the progress and enhance the quality of skin diseases research.
Yoshida Lab
The Yoshida laboratory focuses on how to improve current therapies such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. This research program is performed by a multifaceted approach including in vitro biochemical assays, in vivo mouse models, human melanoma specimens and bioinformatics in collaborations with experts in the melanoma research area such as medical oncologists and dermatopathologists in the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University.
