Psoriasis treatment in Vienna
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by a malfunction of the body's own immune system. In those affected (approx. 2% of the world's population), the skin renews itself eight times faster than normal. The immune cells become overactivated and release inflammatory factors into the skin, resulting in scaly, reddened, sharply defined patches and itching.
Due to years of research into therapy options for psoriasis, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp and Dr. Christine Bangert are considered psoriasis experts and were even awarded the Heinrich Auspitz Prize.

Study by Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp
Blockade of IL-23 as a therapy option for psoriasis
A clinical study by Assoc. Univ. Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp and Ms. Dr. Christine Bangert shows that the targeted blockade of a specific messenger substance of the immune system (IL-23) improves the skin symptoms of psoriasis. This messenger substance also plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn's disease.
For this research, she was awarded the Heinrich Auspitz Prize and is considered a psoriasis expert.
Currently, the anti-IL-23 antibody is not yet approved for the treatment of psoriasis.
