About Us

Letter from the Chairman

Our Chairman, Dr. Seth J. Orlow, welcomes you to tour our website, review our programs and services and learn about our educational activities and research initiatives.

    

History

In 1897 the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital became a unit of New York Post-Graduate Medical School until 1949, when a merger between Skin and Cancer and New York University made it part of the Department of Dermatology of NYU Medical Center.

    

Center of Excellence in Cancers of the Skin

The goal of the Center is to bring together individuals working on issues of fundamental importance to the biological underpinnings and clinical management of diseases caused by the malignant transformation of cells that reside in the skin.
