Episode 5: Dispatches from the frontlines of the "Battle of the Bacteria" with Dr. Richard Gallo
There’s a battle underway on the skin between bacteria that make eczema worse and bacteria that can improve symptoms. This fascinating discussion with Dr. Richard Gallo, Chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the University of California-San Diego, highlights his ground-breaking research approach which amplifies the presence of “good” bacteria in order to control domination of problematic strains, like Staph aureus. This bacterial "tinkering" is showing great promise against eczema. This podcast was recorded in 2018 as part of GPER’s research meetup series.

Eczema-associated bacteria may be kept in check by a different microbe
The microbiome in patients with atopic dermatitis
Antimicrobials from human skin commensal bacteria protect against Staphylococcus aureus and are deficient in atopic dermatitis

Episode 4: A Roadmap for Navigating the New Eczema Treatment Landscape with Dr. Eric Simpson
Almost every week we hear about new treatments for eczema, many with names that are hard to pronounce and even harder to remember. After a long drought, we’re suddenly experiencing a downpour in new options, but for parents and patients, it’s hard to navigate this evolving landscape. Dr. Eric Simpson, a dermatologist with OHSU and leading expert on new eczema treatments, walks us through what’s new, what’s coming, and how to make sense of it all.
Research referenced in this podcast:
Systemic Immunomodulatory Treatments for Patients With Atopic Dermatitis
Efficacy and Safety of Dupilumab in Adolescents With Uncontrolled Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis
Therapeutic Pipeline for Atopic Dermatitis: End of the Drought?
This podcast episode was co-hosted by the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA), and produced in collaboration with the Revolutionizing Atopic Dermatitis Conference with support from Sanofi Genzyme and Regeneron.

Episode 3: A critical look at common treatment practices with Dr. Jonathan Silverberg
Oral and systemic steroids are used to treat eczema all the time, but are they safe and do they make sense for a long-term chronic disease? Antihistamines are the most commonly prescribed oral treatment for eczema, but do they actually address its symptoms and what are the risks of use in children? Dr. Jonathan Silverberg, a dermatologist and researcher with George Washington University, offers some straight talk in this episode of Eczema Breakthroughs. Tune in!
Research referenced in this podcast:
Comorbidities and the impact of atopic dermatitis
Use of systemic corticosteroids for atopic dermatitis
Increased ADHD symptoms in atopic dermatitis are associated with antihistamine use
A systemic review of the safety and efficacy of systemic steroids

Episode 2: Messing with the Microbiome. A Conversation with Dr. Ian Myles
Why is eczema prevalence on the rise? Are chemicals found in many skin and cosmetic products to blame? How do we restore a healthy balance of bacteria on eczema-prone skin? Is eczema a genetic disease or is that a myth? Learn more by listening to this provocative chat with Dr. Ian Myles, a cutting-edge researcher with the NIH who studies "microbiome transplants" for the treatment of eczema.
