About
The Institute of Dermatology of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Nanjing is China's national-level dermatology research institution and specialist hospital, ranked second nationally in the specialty. It functions as the country's reference center for difficult skin disease, sexually transmitted infections and medical mycology, combining national laboratories with a high-volume specialist clinic.
History & scale
Founded in the 1950s under the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College and later based in Nanjing, the institute has served for seven decades as China's apex dermatology organization — hosting national reference laboratories for STD control and fungal disease, editing leading Chinese dermatology journals and training generations of the country's dermatologists.
Star specialties
The institute excels where dermatology is hardest: rare and severe skin diseases, autoimmune blistering disorders, severe psoriasis and drug reactions, cutaneous lymphoma, and genodermatoses supported by genetic diagnostics. Its medical mycology laboratory is the national reference for fungal disease identification and resistance. The STD service sets national diagnostic and treatment standards. Dermatopathology depth means diagnostically unclear biopsies from across China are re-read here, and the clinical service runs specialty clinics covering essentially every named skin condition.
Achievements & recognition
Ranked second nationally in dermatology, the institute hosts China's national STD reference laboratory and national fungal disease surveillance, drafts national guidelines, and is the destination for skin cases other Chinese hospitals cannot resolve.
International services
International patients typically arrive with difficult diagnoses — a biopsy no one can agree on, a chronic condition failing treatment. The institute's working language is Chinese; our companions manage interpretation, and we ensure pathology slides and lab work travel correctly in both directions, which matters more here than anywhere.
Why choose this hospital
Choose the Institute of Dermatology when the diagnosis itself is the problem: if your skin condition has defeated dermatologists at home, this is China's court of final appeal for skin disease, with the national laboratories to prove or disprove a diagnosis definitively.
