We are pleased to highlight the latest research from Dr. Erere Otrofanowei, a recipient of the ISAD Research Fellowship. The new publication, titled “Accessibility And Affordability Of Emollients In The Management Of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) In Africa”, has been featured in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID).
Building on her fellowship work conducted at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF) in Davos, Dr. Otrofanowei’s research focuses on the biophysical properties of African skin. This study provides critical insights into the epidermal barrier of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients in Nigeria, comparing lesional and non-lesional skin to identify specific biological signatures and biomarkers like CCL17/TARC.
As ISAD continues its mission to promote global health equity, Dr. Otrofanowei’s work marks a significant step toward personalizing AD management for diverse skin types and improving diagnostic accuracy in resource-limited settings.
