Clinical Focus

<span style="color:#525458;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff;">&nbsp;Dr. Wu&rsquo;s clinical interests extend to inpatient and complex medical dermatology areas, including connective tissue disorders, autoimmune bullous disorders, immunodermatology, cutaneous presentation of systemic conditions, and cutaneous lymphomas.</span>

Research Focus

<span style="color:#525458;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff;">Dr. Wu&rsquo;s research investigates several questions. His research focus spans from his work in the clinic to the basic sciences. For example, does physical and/or emotional stress significantly exacerbate complex medical dermatoses? In the future, he hopes to examine neutrophil dysfunction at the cellular and molecular level from tissue and blood samples from neutrophil-predominant dermatoses.</span>
