An experienced interdisciplinary team of psoriasis and computational researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (CWRU SOM) and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UHCMC) has received a $6.5M, 5-year grant from the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).

The grant supports a Center of Research Translation in Psoriasis (CORT) at CWRU and UHCMC.

“The CORT brings together the strengths of the Department of Dermatology and the Murdough Family Center for Psoriasis in psoriasis care and research with the innovative approaches of our Institute for Computational Biology, and Department of Population & Quantitative Health Sciences (PQHS),” said Kevin Cooper, MD who serves as NIH Contact Principal Investigator and Administrative Director of the Center.
