Department of Dermatology

Outline

Derma Dream is our department. Department of Dermatology, Wakayama Medical University was founded in 1945. The first chairman was Prof. Nishimura, who had studied the pathogenesis of collagen diseases biochemically. The second chairman was Prof. Mishima, who has been studying the whole world of malignant melanoma. The third chairman was Prof. Aoki and the forth was Prof. Matsunaka. In 1999, Prof. Fukumi Furukawa was elected as the fifth chairman.

Reserch Outline

We have held international meetings such as the 2nd International Conference on Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (ICCLE) in Kyoto in 2008, the JSID-Asia-Oceania-Forum and the 35th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology in Wakayama in 2010, and the International workshop of Hydroxychloroquine on Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus in 2011, as well as the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Aesthetic Dermatology in 2005, the 38th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Dermatoallergology and Contact Dermatitis in 2008, the 64th Annual Meeting of the Central Division of Japanese Dermatological Association in 2012, the 29th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association of Dermatologic Surgery in 2014, and the 114th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Dermatological Association in Yokohama in 2015. These meetings had a great contribution for better understanding of skin autoimmune, autoinflammatory, aesthetic, allergic, and all other skin diseases. Especially, Nobuo Kanazawa and collaborators reported Nakajo-Nishimura syndrome, an autoinflammatory disorder caused by the proteasome assembly defect due to a proteasome subunit beta type 8 (PSMB8) mutation in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 108:14914-14919, 2011. This “Nishimura” represents the first professor in our department.
