title: Wandering and wondering: a dermatologist's experience with hospital-based multidisciplinary translational research.
abstract: Dermatology is the study of skin and all its content and research has no boundaries. Clinical dermatology and cutaneous photobiology provided me with rich training to learn the joy and agony of translational research. Using that experience, I initiated three experiments to test various theories, methodologies, and environments for the support of hospital-based interdisciplinary translational research.
