Welcome to the Department of Dermatology
The Boston University Department of Dermatology is driven by a shared commitment to advancing discovery, shaping future leaders, and delivering exceptional patient care. Our clinical services are based at Boston Medical Center where our faculty provide patient-centered dermatologic care across a broad range of subspecialties, working collaboratively across disciplines to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care. This team-based approach enables us to bring innovative therapies to our patients while remaining deeply committed to compassionate, equitable, and mission-driven service to the communities we serve.
Alongside our clinical work, we are home to internationally recognized research programs in skin aging, wound healing, epigenetics, and melanoma biology, supported by NIH and industry funding. Education is a core pillar of our mission, with robust residency and fellowship programs dedicated to training the next generation of leaders in academic dermatology.
