Background

Professor Khosrotehrani is a clinical scientist, dircetor of the Frazer institute, the university of Queensalnd, sharing his passion for academic medicine and translation of science discorveries into real world solutions for patients. Prof Khosrotehrani is a dermatologist, interested in skin biology, regenerative medicine and skin cancer. He leads the Experimental Dermatology Group at the University of Queensland Frazer Institute within the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia. Dr Khosrotehrani obtained his MD from the Cochin-Port Royal School of Medicine at René Descartes University, Paris, France, where he specialized in Dermatology. He is a former graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Institut Pasteur of Paris (Université Paris VI, Pierre et Marie Curie) where he obtained a PhD in Physiology and Physiopathology. He is a fellow of the Australian College of Dermatologists and a practising dermatologist at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Prince Charles Hospital and the Skin and Cancer Foundation’s Queensland Institute of Dermatology.

As the inaugural St Baker-Soyer chair of Dermatology at the University of Queensland, Professor Khosrotehrani is a national leader in the discipline of Dermatology. He is a board director at the Australasian College of Dermatologists and the Queensland Skin and Cancer Foundation and the director of the Dermatology Department at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. He has held multiple leadership roles as past-President of the Australasian Society for Dermatology Research, Editor in chief of the Australasian Journal of Dermatology and board member of the International Society of investigative Dermatology.

During his post-doctoral training at Tufts-New England Medical Center, Boston, USA, Dr. Khosrotehrani helped establish the contribution of fetal stem cells to tissue repair by demonstrating their multipotent capacity with a specific potency towards the endothelial lineage. The originality of this work was acknowledged by the NHMRC through an achievement award (2011) and an NHMRC excellence award (2016). The main focus of his laboratory is on regenerative medicine and stem cell biology in particular in injury response in skin wounds and skin cancer and how these responses contribute to cancer initiation and progression. Translating his laboratory findings, Dr Khosrotehrani is leading innovative clinical trials in wound healing, keratinocyte cancers and melanoma.
