He specializes in caring for patients with complex autoimmune skin conditions such as cutaneous lupus, dermatomyositis, and vasculitis. Dedicated to helping those with challenging skin diseases that affect overall health, he combines his deep understanding of the immune system with the latest treatments to improve patient well-being.
Dr. Gehlhausen earned his medical degree and PhD from Indiana University. He completed an internal medicine internship at Vanderbilt University and a dermatology residency at Yale, where he served as chief resident. He further specialized in autoimmune skin disorders during advanced training at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
As both a physician and researcher, Dr. Gehlhausen works to understand the signals underlying autoimmune diseases to better diagnose, treat, and manage patients. His work includes basic and translational research using patient-derived samples to study the diseases he sees in the clinic.
