The goal of The Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center is to discover a cure for scleroderma. We are also committed to providing the highest quality and most comprehensive care possible to all patients.
The Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center is currently engaged in ground-breaking research, applied from the laboratory to the patient’s bedside by a team of highly-trained faculty and staff. A collaborative approach among clinicians and researchers has created one of the foremost scleroderma centers, which physicians from around the world look to for leadership in research and treatment.

Collaborators include Hopkins researchers and physicians specializing in pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, and cardiology.
