Our Mission
Our faculty is committed to the highest level of basic and clinical research in dermatologic science. In particular, we are focused on translational medicine; bringing scientific results from the bench to the bedside. Our faculty practices medicine at a world-class hospital; and are internationally recognized for the medical and surgical dermatologic care they provide to their patients. Our vision is to train future leaders in dermatology, whether in scientific investigation or patient care. The competitiveness of our residency program speaks to the commitment our faculty has to our residents and medical students.
Stanford researchers awarded $51.7 million The team headed by Alfred Lane, MD, professor and chair of dermatology will receive $11.7 million to use stem cell therapy to treat epidermolysis bullosa or EB, a devastating genetic skin condition. The international group also includes Stanford stem cell expert Marius Wernig, MD, as well as Stanford researchers Paul Khavari, MD, PhD, Peter Marinkovich, MD, Howard Chang, MD, PhD, and

the spotlight
Stanford Hospital & Clinics dermatology department was an early adopter of innovative treatments for skin cancers, including an approach called a Mohs micrographic procedure. Hayes Gladstone, MD., associate professor of dermatology, has performed more than 20,000 Mohs procedures and also specializes in reconstructive surgery to restore the skin in the affected area. Read about how Dr. Gladstone has helped Robert Mansell and his family.
