Todd Ridky Laboratory
Dept. of Dermatology, Perelman School of Medicine
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
Our research group uses traditional and advanced tissue engineering approaches to address fundamental biologic questions related to the structure and function of normal and malignant epithelial tissues. The experimental platforms are flexible, and allow us to explore a broad scientific scope that encompasses cancers arising in skin or other organs, immune response to tumor, skin pigmentation, and epidermal differentiation. Projects are designed to advance foundational knowledge that informs rational design of new targeted therapeutics. We also devote significant effort to preclinical IND-enabling efficacy and toxicity studies to advance our discoveries toward human trials.
