Research Summary

Dr. Michael Rosenblum is a dermatologist who specializes in caring for patients with inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases.

One of the world's leading skin immunologists, Rosenblum's research has led to a better understanding of how immune responses are regulated in tissues. He also studies how to use this knowledge to develop better treatments for autoimmune disorders.

After completing a doctorate in immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Rosenblum earned his medical degree from the same institution. He completed a residency in dermatology at UCSF.

Rosenblum is a member of the American Association of Immunologists, Society for Investigative Dermatology, American Academy of Dermatology and Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies. He has co-founded multiple biotech companies that are developing new treatments for autoimmune diseases.
