Section Head: Dermatology > Hair Diseases (since 22 November 2005)

Ralf Paus is a Section Head for Hair Diseases, part of the DERMATOLOGY Faculty. The role of a Section Head is to work with their Co-Section Head(s) to divide the Section (sub-specialty area) into its component areas of research, nominate leaders in those areas as Faculty Members, and offer ongoing oversight of the content within their Section. They are not asked to evaluate articles, although we do, of course, welcome them.
