About Oregon Health & Science University

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is located in Portland, Oregon. OHSU’s fundamental purpose is to improve the well-being of people in Oregon and beyond.

The dermatology clinical research division has a great deal of experience in conducting clinical trials which have led to new and improved treatments for a number of diseases.

Especially Needed

Individuals with active AD or who have outgrown AD and also have a history of widespread herpes virus skin infection (also called eczema herpeticum), molluscum contagiosum (pearly wart-like skin lesions), or eczema vaccinatum (adverse reaction to smallpox vaccination).

Even though we are enrolling people regardless of race and ethnicity, we have a special need to enroll African Americans in these studies because African Americans may be at a greater risk.  This risk may be related to a different genetic background.
