Alopecia Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai

Описание: The Mount Sinai Health System has launched the Alopecia Center of Excellence. Under the leadership of Director Emma Guttman-Yassky, MD, PhD, the new Center will include the best clinical care for patients with Alopecia Areata, with a very active research program and multiple clinical trials. The creation of this new Alopecia Areata Center of Excellence was made possible due to a generous $5 million gift from the Pure Family.

More than 7 million people in the United States suffer from Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out from the scalp, face, and other parts of the body. Currently, there is no cure or effective treatments for this condition which affects people of any age, sex, race or ethnicity. Mount Sinai is a world leader in treatment and research of inflammatory skin diseases, including Alopecia Areata. Thanks to the Pure Family, this newly established Center – the first of its kind – will allow Mount Sinai to deepen and capitalize on our expertise in translational research to provide comprehensive treatment and coordinated services for patients suffering from Alopecia Areata.
