IPC Jr. Councilor
Dr. Alison Treichel is a dermatologist at the University of Rochester. She graduated from the 2+2 research track at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2025 under the mentorship of Dr. Kevin Cooper. She earned her medical degree with research honors from the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo in 2020. Before graduation, Dr. Treichel completed two research fellowships at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the Medical Research Scholars Program and the Doris Duke Clinical Research Mentorship Program. Her current research focuses on the gut-skin axis in psoriasis, with an emphasis on microbial-derived metabolites as modulators of treatment response and drivers of systemic comorbidities. She employs multi-omics approaches to identify biomarkers that inform disease progression and therapeutic outcomes, intending to advance precision medicine in dermatology. For her IPC Fellowship, Dr. Treichel studied with IPC Councilor Dr. Álvaro González-Cantero at Hospital Ramón y Cajal in Madrid, Spain, where she investigated the interplay between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease through international collaboration.

He also reviews how imaging helps catch early disease and how to choose treatment based on each patient’s joint, spine, and skin involvement.
