Origins Dermatology Centre, in partnership with Visions Clinical and Translational Health Research, Inc., conducts clinical and translational research focused on inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune skin disease. We engage research at all levels of the translational health spectrum.
Some patients seen in our clinic may be eligible to participate in Research Ethics Board approved clinical trials. Participation in research is voluntary and does not affect access to standard clinical care.
All clinical trials are conducted in accordance with Health Canada regulations and have Research Ethics Board approval.
