Research interests:
Dr Bruckner-Tuderman is interested in the genetic and molecular basis of human skin diseases and the molecular mechanisms leading to clinical symptoms. The ultimate goal is to develop novel, biologically valid therapeutic strategies. The group uses multidisciplinary approaches, including clinical dermatology, molecular genetics, recombinant protein expression, proteomics, cell biology and decay imaging technologies to study human skin and skin cells, and animal models in order to discern disease mechanisms.
