As a research scientist, Prof. Michael Tirant developed an interest in chronic skin conditions due to a close friend’s ongoing battle with psoriasis. Her struggle to find long-term relief highlighted how little was known about the condition at the time, especially in regards to its triggers.
This marked the beginning of 30+ years of research into chronic skin conditions, with a focus on the initiating factors (primary triggers) as well as exacerbating factors (secondary triggers) that cause skin conditions to flare.
