Our Research //

The University of Toronto Psoriatic Disease Research Program undertakes both clinical and laboratory-based (translational) research projects which aim at improving the lives of our patients.

​

Clinical research is research in which people, or data from people, are studied to understand health and disease. Clinical research helps find new and better ways to detect, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.

​

Translational research is research in which samples of tissue from people are studied in the laboratory, and the results are used to develop new ways to detect, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease.
