Additional Information:

Dr. Craft attended Brown University and then after working as a technician at UCSF in San Francisco, attended UCLA for medical school and graduate school. His PhD research was performed in the lab of Charles Sawyers and was focused on the molecular biology of prostate cancer progression. He completed his dermatology residency at UCLA in the STAR program. There, he completed his post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Jeffery F. Miller in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics at UCLA working on Listeria monocytogenes as a model to study host immunity against Leishmaniasis and melanoma. During medical school, Dr. Craft developed an interest in tropical medicine and parastiology. He completed an externship at FIOCRUZ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Most recently, he completed the Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. His clinical interests include tropical dermatology, melanoma immunotherapy, and the development of visual medicine diagnostic and training tools for clinicians. His laboratory, based at Harbor-UCLA is focused on therapeutic vaccine development and translational research related to immunotherapy of leishmania and melanoma.
