International Doctoral Summer School in Dermatology:
From basic to translational research in Dermatology
Brief description of the course:
Basic research in dermatology.
Basic research is essential for the continued advancement of medicine in general, and dermatology in particular, providing the scientific foundation for the development of more precise, efficient and personalized therapeutic interventions.
Key concepts to be addressed include: biomarkers, therapeutic targets that can become the basis for the development of specific drugs that address the underlying causes of skin diseases, thereby improving the efficacy of treatments and reducing potential side effects; genetics, which explores how genetic factors influence skin health; microbiome, which examines the skin’s community of microorganisms and their impact on dermatology; and specific techniques such as cell culture, which studies the cells that make up the skin in controlled environments, and bioprinting, which uses cells and biomaterials to create three-dimensional structures.
Connecting these concepts will provide a comprehensive understanding of dermatological research, from gene expression to advanced tissue engineering techniques.
Translational and clinical research in dermatology.
To assess the efficacy and safety of new therapeutic approaches in patients, independent clinical trials and the benefits to society of this type of research will be explained. Translational research connects basic findings with practical applications, accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into effective therapies. Clinical research, on the other hand, validates and adapts these advances in clinical settings, ensuring their applicability and safety in real patients. To understand this type of research, innovative methodologies currently used in the field of dermatology will be explained, such as the assessment of skin homeostasis, a tool used to characterize skin barrier function parameters, as well as imaging techniques, which play a crucial role in allowing detailed visualization of the skin, useful for diagnosis and follow-up in clinical studies.
By connecting both areas of expertise, attendees will gain a comprehensive view of how research from the laboratory to clinical practice contributes to advancing the understanding and treatment of skin diseases.
Multidisciplinarity
The collaboration between researchers from different areas such as dermatology, medicine, biology, biotechnology and advanced therapies, as well as clinical staff, allows us to apply the approach of knowledge translation to clinical practice. We promote the multidisciplinary
research model as a basis for the development of applied scientific information of interest with a solid foundation.
Among the concepts covered are -omics and biomedical technologies as tools for characterizing clinical, biochemical and genetic information on dermatological diseases, in order to address knowledge on the development of advanced diagnostic tests that allow an accurate assessment of the prognosis and the selection of the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
