Dermatology
Outline
The Department of Dermatology has 14 members engaged in medical treatment and research. In April 2021, Prof. SHIMIZU Akira became the department chair. As a center for regional medical care, our department sends physicians to affiliated hospitals, mainly in the Noto area, to treat a wide range of intractable skin diseases. In addition, the department responds to requests to identify fungal isolates from all over Japan and has contributed as a center for treating and researching dermatomycosis in Japan.
Our primary research topic is dermatomycosis. One of our many accomplishments is developing a method for molecular biological classification of deep-seated fungal infections. Prof. Shimizu has been organizing research systems for the human papillomavirus, which causes warts and skin cancers. In addition, fruitful results have been obtained in cutaneous wound healing through recent collaborative research with other departments.
In our medical practice, Prof. Shimizu opened an outpatient clinic specializing in viral diseases and alopecia. In recent years, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis vulgaris treatments have shown remarkable progress, and our experienced staff provides the most up-to-date treatment to patients with these diseases.
