Welcome

The University of Connecticut Health Center Department of Dermatology was originally established in 1980 as a Division of the Department of Medicine to meet the dermatologic health care needs of Connecticut citizens through education, service and research.

The Department of Dermatology consists of eleven assistant, associate and full professors and researchers and a nurse practitioner. Faculty publish their work in world class referred scientific journals. The main research interests of the Department are in the field of cutaneous oncology (melanoma, atypical nevi or moles, lymphoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma). The activities of the Department include:

  • An active clinical dermatology outpatient clinic and inpatient consultation service (John Dempsey Hospital).
  • Specialty clinics including multidisciplinary melanoma and atypical nevi clinics, pediatric dermatology clinic, and podiatry clinic.
  • Clinical trials for new medications, including medications for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
  • An active Dermatopathology Laboratory that services the hospital and many private practitioners in the community.
  • Clinico-pathological studies on melanocytic lesions, lymphoproliferative lesions, and causes of hair loss.
