Research experience

The research experience showcases a doctor's thorough knowledge and understanding of the workings and treatment procedures in their related fields. Skin, along with its derivatives including nails, hair, sweat, and oil glands, forms the largest organ of the human body. Thus, the health and well-being of our skin are greatly affected by genetic, hormonal, and physiological conditions, and our eating habits, lifestyle, and physical activity. This makes dermatology a vast field, and to provide the best treatment, a dermatologist needs to be aware of and proficient in the factors affecting our skin and their working mechanisms.
