Professor Joost Schalkwijk is a biologist who studies chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin, genetic skin disorders, and tissue engineering. He is interested in researching how the skin forms an effective barrier against various harmful external stimuli. His ambition is to continue leading fundamental research that is relevant for understanding and treating human skin disorders. His recent research has led to the identification of a gene responsible for a hereditary connective tissue disease. Professor Schalkwijk's laboratory utilizes techniques that allow for the analysis of gene expression in skin tissue, resulting in the discovery of new genes involved in the inflammatory processes that contribute to the formation of the protective epidermis layer.
