Investigative Dermatology

Dr. Matthew Hayden doing research

Curious about the science behind skin disease? Investigative Dermatology is where discovery happens—combining lab research, data science, and clinical insight to unlock the biology of the skin. Whether it’s understanding how immune cells behave in chronic rashes or using AI to improve diagnosis and treatment, this specialty is all about asking big questions and finding innovative answers. If you're drawn to discovery, this is where skin science meets the future. The labs are led by Dr. Hayden and Dr. Levy.
