KWATRA LAB

The Kwatra Lab is an NIH-funded, patient-focused investigational laboratory studying the pathophysiology and therapeutics for a variety of chronic pruritic diseases and inflammatory skin conditions in diverse patient populations. Our team utilizes cutting-edge technologies to uncover novel disease mechanisms and discover biomarkers and diagnostics along with new patient endotypes. These techniques include single cell RNA sequencing, flow cytometry, multiplex skin imaging, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome studies, machine learning, systems biology, and functional targeted mouse studies... The Kwatra Laboratory is adjacent to the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center in the Department of Dermatology Clinics. This allows for bench-to-bedside-directed investigations and a well-established biorepository of well curated cutaneous and blood specimens. New discoveries in the laboratory are able to be rapidly translated to patients via clinical trials and the Kwatra Lab currently has several..
