MICHAEL J. FACULTY
Cork, BSc, MB, PhD, FRCP Head, Sheffield Dermatology Research Department of Infection, Immunity & Cardiovascular Disease Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health The University of Sheffield Medical School Sheffield, United Kingdom Professor Michael Cork is Head of the Academic Unit of Dermatology Research at the University of Sheffield and is a Consultant Dermatologist to Sheffield Children’s Hospital and to Sheffield Teaching Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trusts. His main research is on the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis/atopic eczema (AD). Understanding how we can prevent AD involves investigating the interaction of environmental agents, such as detergents, oils, and hard water, with the skin of a baby from birth. From this, we develop interventions such as new emollients and wash products, and we assess how they affect the skin barrier of a baby from birth and the development of AD. With Dr. Simon Danby and their Skin Barrier Team, Professor Cork has developed a research facility that uses a unique combination of techniques to assess how topical wash products, emollients, and topical/systemic pharmaceutical agents affect the integrity of the skin barrier and inflammation. They use this to compare the effects of different treatments for AD on multiple biomarkers to determine the most cost-effective and safe methods to use new and existing therapies for AD. In addition to being a Skin Barrier clinical research facility (CRF), Sheffield Dermatology Research collaborates closely with the CRFs for adult dermatology at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and for children at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Professor Cork has been the chief investigator for many of the clinical trials of biologic drugs for adults and children with AD in the United Kingdom. His team has recruited 2500 patients to clinical trials and experimental medicine studies of treatments and preventive regimens for AD in the past 5 years.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of dermatologists, allergists, and other clinicians who treat patients with atopic dermatitis.
PREAMBLE
STATEMENT of NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily manifests in the skin, although studies continue to elucidate effects in other organ systems throughout the body.1 An increasing prevalence over the last 2 decades has added to tremendous disease-related burdens faced by patients, family members, and caregivers.1,2 Current insights into atopic dermatitis pathophysiology and its widespread effects on patient health and quality of life support efforts to accelerate diagnoses and proactive management.3,4 Moreover, research into the dysregulated cellular and molecular immune processes underlying the pathogenesis and progression of atopic dermatitis has led to new approaches to disease characterization and treatment.5,6 This Interactive Exchange™ program will open with a brief 3D-animated video focused on the pathophysiologic underpinnings of atopic dermatitis. Expert faculty will then discuss best practices for comprehensive patient evaluations and the clinical profiles of systemic treatment options for patients with moderate-to-severe disease. With an overall goal of improving patient outcomes, this educational session has been designed to allow internationally recognized experts to translate the latest published evidence into actionable recommendations for individualized patient care.
