Our goal in creating the Dermatology: Clinical & Basic Science Series is to present the insights of experts on emerging applied and experimental techniques and theoretical concepts that are, or will be, at the vanguard of dermatology. These books cover new and exciting multidisciplinary areas of cutaneous research, and we want them to be the books every physician will use to become acquainted with new methodologies in skin research. These books can be also given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows when they are looking for guidance to start a new line of research. The series consists of books that are edited by experts, with chapters written by the leaders in.
