Prof. Dedee Murrell has worked with the EADV on numerous projects, most recently with her efforts working with a team of experts to publish the “Updated S2K guidelines on the management of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus initiated by the EADV" in the JEADV. Given her profound experience with autoimmune blistering diseases, we take the opportunity to discuss how she balances her passion for research and practice while also creating and managing the Australasian Blistering Diseases Foundation (ABDF) with one of her research fellows.
