Edward Herman, MD, Ph.D.
With both an MD and Ph.D., Dr. Herman has a strong interest in the latest dermatology research and incorporating it into his patient care. Dr. Herman grew up in California and attended UCLA as an undergrad, then received his MD and Ph.D. in Immunobiology from Yale University School of Medicine. During his postgraduate studies, he researched how the immune system regulates inflammation in the skin. His work was published in peer-reviewed academic journals and he was awarded the Selma and Karl Folkers Prize in Biomedical Research. He completed his internship year at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and his dermatology residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. While in Pittsburgh, he volunteered at a resident-run clinic for underserved patients, providing free dermatology care.
Dr. Herman enjoys spending time with his four-year-old son, taking walks, visiting parks, and exploring Boston. He is expecting a new baby later this summer. He also has a Pomeranian who joins in on some of their excursions. His hobbies include watching classic movies and cooking.
