Robert L. Modlin, M.D.

"Acne: A Disease of Lipid Metabolism"

Dr. Robert Modlin is the Klein Professor of Dermatology in the Division of Dermatology, and Professor of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics, at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Modlin’s lab is interested in the immunology of microbial infection, and focuses on is the identification of novel mechanisms by which the innate and adaptive immune system combat microbial pathogens. Learn more about the Robert Modlin Lab.
