Dermatology and Cosmetic Medicine

I am a cancer epidemiologist, and Deputy Director of the Daffodil Centre, a joint venture between Cancer Council NSW and the University of Sydney, in Sydney, Australia. I am also a Faculty member of the Melanoma Institute Australia, where I co-lead the ‘Prevention, Risk and Clinical Detection’ research theme. I am currently the recipient of a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Investigator Grant. I completed a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts at the University of Queensland, Australia, in 1998, and subsequently a Master of Public Health (Honours) degree from The University of Sydney in 2002. I worked in perinatal research and clinical trials at The University of Sydney before completing a PhD in cancer epidemiology from 2004-2007, under a cotutelle agreement between the University of Sydney and the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France, where I was based with the WHO International Agency for Research on Cancer. Subsequently, I obtained a NHMRC postdoctoral fellowship working on the genetic epidemiology of melanoma at the University of Melbourne. I returned to Sydney in 2011 to continue my research in collaboration with the University of Sydney and Melanoma Institute Australia, and in 2021 I joined the new Daffodil Centre, which is one of the University’s Flagship research centres. My research interests are predominantly in skin cancer aetiology, prevention and early detection, including riskstratified approaches to care, with a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary, translational and implementation research. I led the Australian sunbed research that was instrumental in informing government bans on commercial solaria now in effect across all states of Australia, and in 2015, I received an inaugural Sax Institute Research Action Award to recognise this research and its impact on health policy. In 2018, I received the NSW Premier’s Award for Outstanding Cancer Research Fellow of the Year. I have expertise in epidemiology, clinical trials, observational studies, and qualitative research

I am an Associate Professor in Genetic Epidemiology at the Medical Research Council – Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol, UK. My expertise is in the genetic epidemiology of atopic dermatitis. I have led several large international GWAS meta-analyses of atopic dermatitis within the EAGLE consortium. My research now also includes functionally characterising the identified genetic associations using in silico bioinformatic approaches that combine multiple layers of omics data, as well as using these genetic associations as instruments to assess causality in observational associations using a statistical technique called Mendelian Randomisation. I teach genetic epidemiology to undergraduate, Master and postgraduate students. My interest in genetics started during A-levels at School. I studied Biology at York University and then moved to Edinburgh for an MSc in Quantitative Genetics and Genome Analysis. I also received my PhD in Stroke Genetics from the University of Edinburgh, before taking up my first post-doc position in Bristol in 2009 to analyse the newly generated genome-wide data in the ALSPAC cohort. A love of Bristol ensued, and I remain here over a decade later, now with a family, including two young children, who occasionally let me practice yoga and Pilates, cycle, paddle-board and go sailing

After completing my residency as a dermatologist and allergologist at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, with internships at Stanford University, Palo Alto and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA, I worked two years in a large group practice in Frankfurt. From 1998 to 2008 I run my own private practice near Frankfurt. After moving to Switzerland, I worked at the University Hospital Zurich for 8 years, where I directed the clinic for Aesthetic Dermatology and Laser Medicine for 3 years. Since April 2014, I dedicated myself exclusively to the work in my own clinic. I am licensed for laser treatments and accredited by the Laser Commission as a training center. Aesthetic and laser medicine have become my main topics in recent years. My clinic offers the full range of state-to-the-art laser devices that are used in dermatology. As President of the Swiss Society for Medical Laser Applications (SGML) I take responsibility for the Swiss Laser Congress.

Dr. Michelle S. Min is a dermatologist in New York, New York and is affiliated with UCI Medical Center. She received her medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine and has been in practice between 6-10 years.

Dermatologists diagnose and treat diseases of the skin and perform cosmetic procedures, including hair removal, laser therapy, cosmetic filler injections, cryosurgery, tattoo removal, and phototherapy.

I joined the faculty at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) in the Department of Dermatology in 2015. I hold an undergraduate degree in Human Biology and a Master’s degree in Sociology from Stanford University. I worked in international health research before completing my medical training at Harvard Medical School in 2010, followed by residency training at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). I also received training in epidemiology and biostatistics and received a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology from Penn. My research focuses on understanding long-term outcomes in atopic dermatitis including the impact of environmental and sociocultural factors on disease course.
