- Message From the Co-Director

At the Mount Sinai-Clinique Healthy Skin Dermatology Center, breakthrough research, innovative treatments, cosmetic procedures, and clinical trials unite under one roof to propel advancements in dermatology. By exploring the biological underpinnings of how skin ages in healthy individuals and in patients with eczematous, allergic, and sensitive skin, we will usher in innovative, tailored treatments for all skin tones and ethnicities. Formed through a $5 million, seven-year philanthropic commitment from Clinique, the Mount Sinai-Clinique Health Skin Dermatology Center brings together the best and brightest physicians and scientists and invests in advanced equipment, clinical trials, laboratory space, and support staff to usher in new discoveries in aging, eczema, and allergy-related science.

Clinique and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai share a mission to improve patients’ lives by harnessing dermatological research to modernize anti-aging and allergic/eczema-related science and identify new solutions to aging and skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and rosacea. Through this Center, we will make a global impact on the study of aging, the treatment of skin diseases, and how patients look and feel in their skin.
