REPORT FROM THE TRUSTEES: to Meet the Needs of Medical and Surgical Dermatology
THE DERMATOLOGY FOUNDATION—Evolving
T
oday, at the beginning of a new century, the Dermatology Foundation—like the specialty itself—is the
product of the rapid evolution medicine has experienced in the past 20 years. From minimally-funded
one-year grants and fellowships, the Foundation is fully committed to developing the research
and teaching careers of emerging physician-scientists through multi-year
awards. Currently, these multi-year allocations—with stipends of $55,000/
year—are supporting investigators in basic science and developing careers in
medical dermatology, dermatologic surgery and healthcare policy. In 2003, the
Foundation allocated $2.7 million for 54 research projects—more than half of which
were for the multi-year career development awards.
As the Dermatology Foundation marks its 38th year, we briefly reflect on its
tradition of investing in people—dermatologists and patients—and its overall mission of Jouni J. Uitto, M.D.,
Ph.D.
supporting dermatology’s research base. In its formative years, the Foundation identified
President
and funded young dermatologists who sought careers in investigative dermatology and
teaching. While this innovative approach was a step in the right direction, the funding
was modest. During 1967-68, the Foundation awarded a total of $70,000 in the form of
14 one-year, $5,000 grants. This was made possible by the start up contributions of sev-
eral specialty organizations, several corporations, as well as special gifts from individual
dermatologists—who were the Dermatology Foundation’s first members.
During the 1970’s, one-year, $7,500 fellowships were added to the awards catego-
ries, and funding more than doubled as the number of Foundation members grew along Bruce U. Wintroub, M.D.
with that of its industry partners. This growth pattern of support and funding continued Chairman, Board
during the 1980’s at an increasingly accelerated pace so that by 1989 nearly $800,000 of Trustees
was allocated to launch the careers of young, research and teaching-oriented dermatolo-
gists.
The vision for the future combines elements of the Foundation’s historic roots and the anticipated needs
of medical and surgical dermatology. The DF will continue its commitment to people—dermatologists and
patients—and to its overall mission of supporting the specialty’s research and teaching base. The DF will
reach out to dermatologists and industry for increased support of multi-year awards—which build research
and teaching careers and identify the specialty’s emerging leaders in medical and procedural dermatology—by
enlisting more contributors and broadening the levels of participation. The DF will continue and expand its co-
operation with other specialty organizations to include development of research and teaching careers in such
areas as dermatologic surgery, medical and pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, ichthyosis, and psoriasis.
A look at the accomplishments in 2002 which follow reinforces our conviction that—together—we can
achieve this vision. In fact, 2002 can be regarded as the first step in a new era of progressive dermatology that
the DF’s founders put in motion nearly 40 years ago.
Governance & Administration
The following colleagues concluded their terms as members of the Board of Trustees. We are pleased to
recognize them and to extend our appreciation for their stewardship: Drs. Karyanne O. Duncan, Alice P.
Pentland and Jorge L. Sanchez.
Hundreds of dermatologists from the broad spectrum of medical and surgical dermatology volunteer
on behalf of the Foundation. The Trustees wish to honor the work of the Leaders Society and Annenberg
Circle physician network, the Association of Professors of Dermatology for providing faculty members for
the Foundation’s annual CME program and the deliberations of the Medical and Scientific Committee. We truly
appreciate their willingness to spend countless hours on behalf of the specialty. On behalf of our fellow Trust-
ees, we thank all members of the specialty and our corporate partners for their sustaining support.

A NEW GENERATION OF LEADERS IN RESEARCH AND TEACHING
At the 2002 Annual meeting, the Foundation provided 54 research awards
totaling $2.7 million. More than half of the individual awards are directed
to the development of research and teaching careers in medical and
procedural dermatology through one of the multi-year Career Develop-
ment categories, each providing $55,000/year for up to three years. In
this way, the DF’s funding provides invaluable career-track continuity for
dermatologists across the broad spectrum of the specialty’s investigative
and teaching arenas.

2003 PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD
Evangelos V. Badiavas, M.D., Ph.D. THE ROLE OF BONE MARROW CELLS IN CUTANEOUS WOUND HEALING
Roger Williams General Hospital
The emerging field of stem cell biology may open new avenues for treatment
of a variety of disorders. There is growing evidence that stem cells from one
organ can make tissues of another organ. Our preliminary experiments indicate that some bone marrow cells can
incorporate and possibly regenerate wounded skin tissues. This proposal will address identifying those bone mar-
row cells that are capable of integrating into wounded skin and becoming skin tissues.
Rachael A. Clark, M.D., Ph.D. PRODUCTION OF HUMAN T CELLS USING A SKIN-DERIVED THYMIC
CONSTRUCT
Harvard University
T cells protect the body from infection and cancer. New T cells develop in the
thymus, an organ that largely disappears by adulthood. After damage to the
immune system, the ability to make new T cells is limited. We have reprogrammed skin cells to act as a surrogate
thymus, allowing production of new T cells. It is our goal to eventually produce T cells that can be given to patients
to treat infections and cancer.
Nancy E. Thomas, M.D., Ph.D. MELANOMA NRAS/BRAF MUTATIONS: A POPULATION-BASED
STUDY
The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill Melanoma, a potentially fatal and generally chemoresistant malignancy, is
rapidly increasing in incidence. NRAS and BRAF are the most commonly mu-
tated oncogenes found in melanoma. In this study, the population-based frequency and mutational spectrum
of NRAS/BRAF will be characterized and associated with subtype, potential precursors, risk and prognostic factors
in primary melanoma. Clarifying the role of NRAS/BRAF in melanoma development, progression and heterogeneity
would be expected to lead to better prevention, classification, and treatment.

John A. Carucci M.D., Ph.D. MOLECULAR MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT OF CATASTROPHIC CUTA-
NEOUS CARCINOGENESIS IN ORGAN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
Cornell University
Organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for aggressive skin cancer.
The following issues will be addressed in a Dermatologic Surgery
Unit that includes within its mission the advancement of care for organ transplant recipients with skin cancer: 1.
identification of patients at highest risk for catastrophic disease and optimization of management of patients with
overwhelming disease; 2. elucidation of unique mechanisms of tumor biology; and, 3. evaluation of novel prophylac-
tic, suppressive, diagnostic and treatment strategies.

2003 CLINICAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD IN HEALTH CARE POLICY
Joel M. Gelfand, M.D. THE INCIDENCE OF CANCER IN PSORIASIS PATIENTS
University of Pennsylvania
There is increasing evidence linking psoriasis with an increased risk of cancer.
We will perform a study in over 150,000 psoriasis patients to determine if
cancer rates are increased in these patients using the General Practice Research Database in the United Kingdom.
The results of this study will have important implications for the care of psoriasis patients and will develop an im-
portant new tool to study a variety of population based outcomes in psoriasis patients.
Jack S. Resneck, Jr., M.D. NEW METHODS FOR EXAMINING DERMATOLOGY WORKFORCE
ADEQUACY
University of California,
San Francisco Patients, referring physicians, and dermatologists themselves are complaining
that the current supply of dermatologists is inadequate to meet the demand
for services. Scientific evidence about the state of the dermatology workforce is insufficient, and past efforts
to project needs have been plagued by numerous difficulties. This series of studies is designed to use new and
innovative methods to project future workforce needs in dermatology so that training programs can respond ap-
propriately.
2003 DERMATOLOGIST INVESTIGATOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
Noah Craft, M.D., Ph.D. HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTION IN CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIA
INFECTION
University of California,
Los Angeles Leishmaniasis is a disfiguring parasitic disease of the skin affecting nearly
twelve million people worldwide. The organism invades human cells, exploits
molecules within these cells to support its growth, multiplies until it destroys the host cell, and then invades the
next cell. We will use functional genetic screening techniques to identify molecules involved in parasite invasion and
evasion of the skin’s immune system. Identification of these molecules may lead to new targets for drug therapy.
Larisa Geskin, M.D. DEVELOPMENT OF DENDRITIC CELL-BASED VACCINE FOR
TREATMENT OF CUTANEOUS T-CELL LYMPHOMA
University of Pittsburgh
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells (APCs)
and can elicit protective and therapeutic tumor immunity. We propose to
develop DCs-based immunotherapies for the treatment of Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). We will develop
immunization strategies utilizing autologous DCs as APCs and patient tumor cells as a source of antigen.
Theoretically, CTCL represents a perfect target for DC-based immunotherapy given its immunologic character,
and the great need for effective therapies.
2002 Annual Report 5
Anita N. Haggstrom, M.D. PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF HEMANGIOMAS OF INFANCY
University of California,
San Francisco Hemangiomas of infancy are the most common tumors of childhood,
occurring in approximately 10% of infants. While most infants have a limited,
benign clinical course, many others experience considerable disfigurement, and a minority of infants have life-threat-
ening complications. Our study is the first prospective, multi-center, cohort study of patients with hemangiomas of
infancy that analyzes whether certain patient and maternal characteristics or prenatal and perinatal events correlate
with the development or behavior of certain hemangioma subtypes.
Mark D. Herron, M.D. UTAH PSORIASIS INITIATIVE AND PROGNOSTIC FACTORS
IN PSORIASIS PATIENTS
University of Utah
The presence of obesity in psoriasis patients is common. The role of obesity in early
life on the natural history of disease, age of onset, severity of disease, progression of
disease, and development of psoriatic arthritis in unknown. We predict the onset of obesity in early life may negatively im-
pact psoriasis in adulthood. The goal of this study is to determine if obesity in early life predicts early onset of psoriasis
and overall severity of disease. If this proves to be true, measures can be taken to reduce childhood and adolescent
obesity, which may reduce risk of developing psoriasis. This research will also bring focus to the possibility of modi-
fying existing psoriasis by treating underlying obesity.
Lloyd S. Miller, M.D., Ph.D. INNATE IMMUNITY TO BACTERIAL SKIN INFECTIONS
University of California,
Los Angeles The majority of cutaneous bacterial infections in humans is due to
Staphylococcus aureus and Group A Streptococcus. This proposed study will
investigate the role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR2 in mediating immune responses and generation
of antimicrobial peptides directed against these common bacterial skin infections. This study will broaden our un-
derstanding of cutaneous host defense and may lead to much needed novel antibacterial therapies, thereby expand-
ing our arsenal against these infections.
Esperanza C. Welsh, M.D. ENZYMATIC REMOVAL OF BIOFILM FROM A PARTIAL THICKNESS
WOUND ON A PIG MODEL
University of Miami
This study is going to enable us to better understand other means by which
biofilms can be eliminated. Enzymatic therapy can be a new therapeutic “gun”
by which resistant bacteria can be tackled. This would be the first study in which in a controlled fashion enzymes
are used to eliminate biofilms in partial thickness wounds. The results of this study can impact not only Dermatol-
ogy, but many other fields in medicine.

2003 RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARDS
Research Career Development Awards provide $55,000 salary stipends for young academic investigators and
are renewable for up to two years. Recipients are required to spend at least 75 percent of their time in cutaneous
research. This must be certified in writing by the applicant’s chairman, and the institution must demonstrate a
strong commitment to the recipient’s research career.
Tatiana Efimova, Ph.D. P38DELTA SIGNALING AND REGULATION OF APOPTOSIS IN
KERATINOCYTES
Case Western Reserve University
Proper epidermal function necessitates precise balance between keratino-
cyte proliferation, differentiation and death. We recently discovered an im-
portant role for p38δ MAP kinase in regulating epidermal gene expression during differentiation. Our preliminary
studies suggest that p38δ also functions as a positive modulator of apoptotic cell death program in keratinocytes.
We will study the molecular mechanisms of p38δ-mediated apoptotic signaling in skin cells. Successful completion of
proposed studies will increase understanding of mechanisms that regulate keratinocyte function.
Walter G. Hubert, Ph.D. DNA REPLICATION OF DIFFERENT HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUSES
FOLLOWING COINFECTION
University of Arkansas
The causative role of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) in cervical
cancer is well established. In addition, such HPVs are also involved in squa-
mous cell carcinomas of the skin and oral mucosa. Since many of the tumors harbor multiple HPV types, and their
contribution to the disease is unknown, studies will be performed with human cells to determine how infection
with multiple HPVs alters viral replication and possibly affects the way they cause cancer.
Yuangang Liu, Ph.D. NOVEL AAA-PROTEIN SPAF IN APOPTOSIS AND MALIGNANT
MELANOMA
Oregon Health and Sciences
University, Portland VA Refractory to all current therapeutic regimens makes malignant melanoma
Medical Center the most formidable disease arising from skin. Understanding the molecular
basis of drug resistance in malignant melanoma is essential to develop targeted therapy. The proposed study is to
investigate the mechanism of a novel AAA-protein in preventing programmed cell death in melanoma cells and to
develop this AAA-protein as a prognostic marker to predict patient response to therapy.
Zhongkai Shi, M.D. EPICUTANEOUS ANTHRAX VACCINE BY E. COLI CARRIER
University of Alabama,
Birmingham Animals can be protected against lethal bacterial infection by topical applica-
tion of E. coli which express foreign antigen. A variety of skin cells participate
in the immune response. Among them, a specialized cell, called Langerhans cell is critical in initiating the immune
response. δT cells, a subpopulation of T cells are abundant in skin and may contribute to the immune responses.
In addition, E. coli itself provides a strong adjuvant effect on the immune response.

Jonathan A. Dyer, M.D. EXPLORING THE CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PATHOGENESIS
OF INFLAMMATORY MOSAIC DISORDERS
Children’s Memorial Hospital
Lichen striatus and epidermal nevus are common “mosaic” skin disorders of
children, presenting as patterned streaks of heaped-up skin. However, the
epidemiology and underlying basis for these lesions are unclear. I plan to explore the epidemiology of these similar
mosaic conditions, confirm that the cells of each lesion originate from the same ancestor cells, explore markers
that may distinguish these two conditions, and investigate the cause of the disappearance of lichen striatus but not
ILVEN.

Jyotsna Chandra, Ph.D. ROLE OF ADHESION-ASSOCIATED PROTEINS IN CANDIDAL BIOFILM
FORMATION ON SKIN INSERTION SITES OF TUNNELED CATHETERS
Case Western Reserve University
Catheter-related infections (CRI) involving Candida albicans biofilms are caused
mainly through skin insertion sites and hubs. Adhesion to catheter surfaces is
the precursor for biofilm formation. Recently we showed differential expression of an adhesion between biofilm and
planktonic cells. This proposal is aimed at identifying candidal adhesion proteins involved in biofilm formation. Data
obtained will give a clear answer whether adhesion proteins are critical to biofilm formation and may lead to better
treatment of CRI.
Nirvana J. Croft, Ph.D. TARGETS OF WNT SIGNALING IN THE INITIATION OF HAIR
FOLLICLE DEVELOPMENT
University of Pennsylvania
Identifying the molecular mechanisms that initiate hair follicle development is
important for understanding this process and for developing strategies for hair
follicle regeneration in cases of permanent loss. We find that WNT intercellular signaling molecules are necessary
for the initiation of hair follicle development. My goal is to identify genes that become active in hair follicles in re-
sponse to WNT signals so that we can begin to elucidate the mechanisms by which these signals operate.
Gangwen Han, M.D. STAGE-SPECIFIC ROLES OF SMAD7 IN CUTANEOUS WOUND
HEALING
Oregon Health & Science
University Our preliminary data show that overexpression of an antagonist of
transforming growth factors β (TGFβ), Smad7 in the skin accelerated wound
healing, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for impaired wound healing. This proposal will study the
stage-specific functions of Smad7 during wound healing and analyze the underlying molecular mechanisms. We
will use genetically engineered mice that allow induction of Smad7 expression in the skin at different stages during
wound healing.
Karl Wilkins, M.D.
CELL MEDIATED IMMUNITY TO HPV INFECTIONS IN HIV DISEASE
University of California,
San Francisco Warts are a very common problem seen by dermatologists. In patients with
the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) warts are particularly long lasting
and aggressive because these patients have a poor immune system and cannot attack the warts effectively. In the
year 2002 there are many treatments for HIV that make the immune system able to fight off infections like healthy
people. Unfortunately, patients on these potent medications still have very difficult, persistent warts. I am using
tests that measure immunity to study this paradox.
