Overview

Jean Krutmann is affiliated with Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Within these fields, their subfields of specialization include Dermatology, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine.

The main topics of their work focus on Skin Protection and Aging, Dermatology and Skin Diseases, melanin and skin pigmentation, Air Quality and Health Impacts, Acne and Rosacea Treatments and Effects, Indoor Air Quality and Microbial Exposure, and CRISPR and Genetic Engineering.

Jean Krutmann has contributed to numerous scholarly articles, including the following recent papers:

  • Environmentally-Induced (Extrinsic) Skin Aging: Exposomal Factors and Underlying Mechanisms, 2021, Journal of Investigative Dermatology
  • Photoprotection according to skin phototype and dermatoses: practical recommendations from an expert panel, 2021, Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
  • Clinical and biological impact of the exposome on the skin, 2020, Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
  • Characterization of the human skin resistome and identification of two microbiota cutotypes, 2021, Microbiome
  • Air pollution is associated with depressive symptoms in elderly women with cognitive impairment, 2020, Environment International

The researcher frequently publishes in several venues, including:

  • Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
  • Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
  • Photodermatology Photoimmunology & Photomedicine
  • Journal of Investigative Dermatology
  • Der Hautarzt

Common collaborators in their work include Thierry Passeron, Henry W. Lim, Sérgio Schalka, Delphine Kérob, and Carles Trullàs. These frequent coauthors reflect the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of their research.
