A new IPC paper in JAAD presents five priorities for improving metabolic screening, advancing GLP-1 research in the context of psoriasis, and defining the dermatologist’s role in managing cardiometabolic risk in psoriasis patients.
IPC Jr. Councilor Mio Nakamura speaks with Dr. John Koo about how personality traits, including borderline personality disorder, shape clinical interactions and shares practical strategies for dermatologists to build stronger patient relationships.
Recordings from the IPC Fellows Research Class #1: Global and Collaborative Research in Psoriasis are now available. Program Chairs Peter van de Kerkhof, MD, PhD, and María Julia Cura, MD, led a faculty of international experts through sessions on unresolved questions in the era of effective psoriasis therapies, building global research collaborations, and connecting psoriasis research across disciplines. Watch to hear from Wolf Henning Boehncke, MD, MA, Christopher Griffiths, OBE, MD, FMedSci, and Georg Stingl, MD, as they share perspectives shaping the next generation of psoriasis research.
The IPC Resource Library now includes a dedicated Research Skills category, bringing together videos, articles, and presentations focused on building stronger research capabilities in psoriasis. Browse the current collection to find resources on topics from collaborative research methods to career development for researchers at every stage.
Rare ADAR1 gene mutations drive a distinct, interferon-fueled psoriasis subtype, and it responds to JAK1 and TYK2 inhibitors rather than standard IL-17/IL-23 biologics.
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.
