Read our Psoriasis research guide →This is a research study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham that collects small skin samples from people with psoriasis. The researchers want to study how your immune system responds in psoriasis by looking at inflammatory markers in your skin. Understanding these markers may help doctors better treat and manage the disease in the future.
Psoriasis involves complex immune system activity that isn't fully understood yet. By studying how immune cells behave in people with psoriasis, researchers hope to find better ways to measure disease severity and develop more targeted treatments.

You would visit the research center for a skin biopsy, where doctors take a small sample of skin using local anesthesia (numbing medicine). The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive. The exact number of visits and follow-up appointments would be discussed with the research team, but this is primarily a sample-collection study rather than a long-term treatment trial.
