2025 June North East Skin Research Update

During our daytime session we heard from Dr Hamish Hunter, Consultant Dermatologist at Salford Royal Hospital, on “Expert Insights on how to interpret results from the lebrikizumab key clinical evidence and real-world case studies”.

Our evening event was held at The Magic Hat Cafe, Newcastle where we initially heard from Professor Neil Rajan for an insightful “Annual Review of North East Dermatology Research”, followed by “blitz” presentations from both clinical and non-clinical academics on important research updates: 

  1. An epidemiological study of the ichthyoses in England from 1998-2024 – Dr Mark Eisner

  5. Predicting psoriasis biologic drug discontinuation: an explainable artificial intelligence approach – Dr Amaani Hussain.
