About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to identify the immune profile underlying various inflammatory skin diseases, through multi-omic procedures.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. What are the molecular and immune signatures of individuals with inflammatory skin disease? 2. Can these signatures reveal potential therapeutic targets for individuals with inflammatory skin disease? 3. How do patients' multi-omic signatures change before and after receiving systemic therapy? 4. Can the samples and data collected through this study provide a valuable bioresource for future skin disease research?
