The Paediatric & Population-Based Dermatology Research Group is part of St John's Institute of Dermatology, King's College London, and is led by Professor Carsten Flohr, Chair in Dermatology & Population Health Sciences.

We conduct internationally recognised translational, clinical and population-based research aimed at improving the prevention, understanding and treatment of skin diseases and allergic conditions across the life course. Our research focuses particularly on atopic dermatitis (eczema), food allergy and psoriasis, and addresses major public health challenges through multidisciplinary collaborations.

Our work spans large-scale epidemiological studies, clinical trials, patient registries and international research consortia, including the EU-funded TRANS-FOODS consortium, the TREatment of severe eczema in children (TREAT) trial, and the UK-Irish Atopic Dermatitis Systemic Therapy Register.

Alongside our research, we are committed to education and capacity building. Professor Flohr leads the annual national ‘Allergy & the Skin’ course, delivered through DermAcademy, and the group works closely with patients, charities, healthcare professionals and international partners to improve outcomes for people living with skin disease and allergy.
