Miami Dermatology and Laser Research

The board-certified dermatologists of Miami Dermatology & Laser Research are heavily engaged in clinical research trials, teaching, writing and editing journal articles and textbook chapters.

Jill S. Waibel, MD, FAAD has been an instructor and teaching medical students, residents and fellows and directed educational sessions and programs at national and international meetings, including the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and many more.

Under her direction, the Clinical Trials Division evaluates new and emerging technologies, devices, topical and oral medications, skin care products and prescription drugs and other therapies for the treatment and diagnosis of medical and cosmetic skin conditions. MDLR has a dedicated clinical research staff who is actively involved in multiple ongoing studies at any time. The results of these studies are published in peer-reviewed medical journals and presented at national and international meetings by the board-certified dermatologists of MDLR in Miami.

We are very proud that MDLR has been selected as a renowned and trusted clinical research facility by leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies worldwide. Our participation in research enables us to provide our patients with the most advanced care using the newest treatments and latest technologies available. The Clinical Trials Division consists of a team of core members who work to ensure that all clinical trials are conducted in accordance with standards of Good Clinical Practice.

Here at Miami Dermatology & Laser Research, we have a robust, unique clinical trial company. We offer innovative, cutting-edge research trials- in some cases patients receive treatment free of charge or even are paid for their participation. We draw from our extensive database to provide our patients with the opportunity to participate in some of the most ground-breaking drug and device trials. Although we do these treatments in house, we have no control over the treatment/visit schedule, payments, or changes to the study course- these are all determined and controlled by the sponsoring company, Investigational Review Board (IRB), and FDA. Miami Dermatology & Laser Research will communicate everything to the patient but is not responsible for the study details or the changing needs of the company which may alter the above items. We want our patients to continue to have outstanding service and care while being some of the first patients in the world to have access to new and exciting medical and cosmetic therapies.
