Butterfly skin: Caring for patients with epidermolysis bullosa | Ep.1: Health Compass Podcast

Epidermolysis bullosa, often called “butterfly skin,” makes even the smallest touch painful. In this episode, we explore the courage of patients and families living with EB, and how Stanford clinician-researchers are helping turn decades of research into the first gene therapies that offer real hope. Jean Tang, MD, PhD, professor of dermatology at Stanford Medicine, is a physician-scientist focused on rare genetic skin diseases and skin cancer. Her research centers on epidermolysis bullosa (EB) and basal cell carcinoma, employing clinical trials, genomic analysis, and translational approaches. Clinically, she cares for patients with non-melanoma skin cancers and genetic skin disorders and participates in efforts to improve prevention and care for these conditions. She earned her MD and PhD in basic science from Stanford University, where she also completed her dermatology residency. M. Peter Marinkovich, MD, is an associate professor of dermatology at Stanford Medicine and a faculty member of the Program in Epithelial Biology and the Stanford Cancer Biology Program. He directs the Stanford Bullous Disease and Psoriasis Clinics and serves as an attending dermatologist at the VA Palo Alto Medical Center. His research centers on understanding the pathogenesis and therapy of epidermolysis bullosa, autoimmune blistering diseases, psoriasis, and skin cancer. His clinical work bridges complex inflammatory skin disorders with translational research to advance treatment options. He completed his residency at Oregon Health and Science University and completed his fellowship at Shriners Hospitals for Children.
