ABOUT DERMATOLOGY
Our research and development efforts in dermatology are initially focused on leveraging our knowledge of the JAK-STAT pathway. We are exploring the potential of JAK inhibition for a number of immune-mediated dermatologic conditions with a high unmet medical need, including atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, prurigo nodularis, and hidradenitis suppurativa.
Research has shown that the JAK-STAT pathway mediates the cellular effects of cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of many immune-mediated dermatologic conditions. We strive to identify and develop therapies to modulate immune pathways driving uncontrolled inflammation to help restore normal immune function and bring the body closer to homeostasis.
