Advancing the science of precision dermatology
NellaDerm is building a multidisciplinary research program at the intersection of dermatology, computational science, formulation science and advanced drug delivery.
Our research is focused on a fundamental challenge in inflammatory skin disease: individuals with the same diagnosis can differ substantially in their underlying biology, visible disease characteristics, triggers and response to treatment.
We are developing technologies to better understand these differences and translate them into more precise approaches to disease management.
Atopic dermatitis is our first area of development and validation, with the longer term goal of extending our research across inflammatory skin diseases.
From discovery to validation
Our research follows a connected development process:
- Discover Identify meaningful patterns across clinical, biological, image and individual reported information.
- Design Translate those insights into computational models, formulation strategies and advanced delivery technologies.
- Develop Build and refine prototypes, algorithms, formulations and experimental delivery systems.
- Evaluate Measure technical performance through computational, laboratory and preclinical research where appropriate.
- Validate Progressively evaluate technologies against real world and clinical outcomes.
- Refine Use new evidence to improve the technology and guide the next cycle of research.
This continuous research process is central to NellaDerm's vision of building a disease management technology that becomes more precise as scientific and individual evidence grows.
