Dr. Gilliet is Professor of Dermatology and Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the Lausanne University in Switzerland. Over the past 15 years Dr. Gilliet's laboratory has focused on translational research studying inflammatory skin diseases. In particular, Dr. Gilliet's lab has discovered mechanisms how dendritic cells initiate and drive inflammation in skin diseases including psoriasis and lupus based the complex formation of self-DNA with antimicrobial peptides. These studies provided a paradigm shift in the understanding on how sterile inflammation is regulated at the site of disease.
