IPC Councilor
Dr. Andreas Pinter is a senior consultant dermatologist and head of the department for clinical research, and has led the consultation for chronic immune-mediated skin diseases at the Clinic for Dermatology, Venereology and Allergology at the University Clinic in Frankfurt am Main since 2013.

Dr. Pinter earned his MD and PhD at the University of Frankfurt. In addition to chronic inflammatory dermatosis, his clinical and scientific activities focus on dermato-oncology and dermatosurgery.

He is actively involved in several foundations and organizations in membership and leadership capacities, including the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), International Psoriasis Council (IPC), and national networks.

Furthermore, Dr. Pinter is also active in translational medicine and has led a working group since 2017. This working group has received independent and competitive research funding. The focus is the link between pathophysiological processes in Hidradenitis suppurativa, Atopic Dermatitis, and Psoriasis and clinical burden.

He regularly acts as a scientific speaker as well as the author and co-author of various scientific publications in renowned specialist journals like Nature, The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Dermatology, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD), and the British Journal of Dermatology (BJD).

New Take Tens on Psoriatic Arthritis

IPC Councilor Anna Lopez Ferrer, MD, PhD, reviews PURE-4, a four-item tool that helps dermatologists screen psoriasis patients for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) risk. She traces its evolution across three studies (2018–2026) into a validated predictor of early PsA.

IPC Councilor André Lucas Ribeiro, MD, reframes PsA as a slow transition from psoriasis, not a sudden event, opening the door to disease interception. He outlines the steps needed to get there, from harmonizing definitions to reducing inflammatory burden.
