We are fortunate to hear a presentation by Dr. Benjamin Ehst, a nationally renowned, board-certified dermatologist, and research investigator.
Dr. Ehst has had diverse academic and career experiences in both medical practice and clinical research.
He earned his undergraduate degree from theUniversity of Chicago and his medical and doctoral degrees at the University of Minnesota in a combined Medical Scientist Training Program. He obtained a doctorate in immunology and microbiology in addition to his medical degree.
A few highlights from his impressive CV are working at the Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health studying the immune response to malaria; Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at OHSU; and organizing a specialty clinic caring for skin-related issues in HIV-infected individuals. Dr. Ehst began his work in clinical research while at OHSU, acting as lead investigator in many studies on treatments for skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and melanoma.
Currently, Dr. Ehst is seeing clinical study patients at Oregon Medical Research Center and practices dermatology at Broadway Medical Clinic. He will be discussing his work on the development of drugs to treat skin diseases and the approval process.
