The Miami Itch Center, directed by Dr. Gil Yosipovitch, is one of the nation’s only comprehensive, multidisciplinary clinics dedicated to the diagnosis and management of a variety of itchy conditions including: atopic eczema, psoriasis, prurigo nodularis, and neuropathic itch. We also provide educational programs for patients and families suffering from atopic dermatitis and other conditions of chronic itch.
At the Miami Itch Center, our researchers are highly engaged in translational research – the process of turning scientific findings into new forms of diagnosis and treatment — with the goal of bringing new and better treatments to patients.
The Miami Itch Center is actively involved in research that advances the understanding of itch and itch-related skin diseases. The scope of our research extends from human studies, including brain imaging and assessing itch and new treatments, as well as animal models of chronic itch using state-of-the-art imaging, including optogenetics and molecular biology.
We are continuously recruiting participants for new and ongoing studies related to these topics. Should you be interested in participating in any of these studies, or have any questions regarding studies that might not be listed, please contact us at 305-588-9734 or MiamiItchCenter@miami.edu.
