Focused Study Groups

Most of PeDRA’s research takes place within one of seven collaborative Focused Study Groups – Acne & Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Atopic Dermatitis & Psoriasis, Birthmarks, Connective Tissue & Autoinflammatory Disorders, Genetic Skin Disorders, Neonatal Skin Care, and Skin Tumors and Reactions to Cancer Therapies (STARC). Each study group consists of dozens of clinician scientists, working under the guidance of one or more leaders to identify novel research ideas, advance our understanding of childhood skin diseases, and identify the best ways to improve the lives of patients and their families. PeDRA is able to leverage the strength of these working groups to identify and pursue cross-cutting studies that address high priority research questions spanning many different pediatric skin diseases.

Clinical Trials

The field of pediatric dermatology is witnessing more new treatments on the path to the patient bedside than ever before. PeDRA hosts a clinical trial locator tool designed to help pediatric dermatologists get involved in, and refer patients to, clinical trial opportunities.

Education

PeDRA hosts a robust collection of educational resources for researchers, including webinars and links to valuable external pages. Thanks to PeDRA’s strong connection to the patient community, we will also provide educational activities focused on engaging patients in the research process, identifying high priority research questions, and conducting effective patient-centric comparative effectiveness research (CER).
