Lidia Rudnicka Biography

Lidia Rudnicka is one of the most popular and richest Dermatologist who was born on February 19, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Lidia Rudnicka, a Polish-American dermatologist, was born February 19, 1960 in Chicago. She has made significant contributions to the fields of scleroderma research and hair diseases prevention.

Rudnicka was the organizer of a nationwide campaign in Poland to encourage prevention and early detection for melanoma (with videodermoscopy and dermoscopy). Based on the highly successful Australian experience, “Stop- Melanoma” is an ongoing campaign that began in 2004.

A second field of research of Rudnicka is related to hair and scalp disorders. She made a major contribution to development of hair and scalp dermoscopy (trichoscopy) and was the first to coin the term trichoscopy. Her and her co- workers’ studies on genetic hair disorders showed that it is possible to diagnose genetic hair shaft abnormalities in children without the need of pulling hairs for microscopic evaluation. In 2005, Rudnicka and Malgorzata Olszewska used videodermatoscopy in assessing disease severity and monitoring impact of dutasteride therapy on hair thickness and hair shaft heterogeneity in androgenic alopecia, indicating this method can be used as a research tool to evaluate the effects of therapeutic or cosmetic agents The next year, together with Malgorzata Olszewska and their co-workers she introduced the term trichoscopy for hair, scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes dermoscopy (videodermoscopy). Their subsequent studies showed this technique can easily replace traditional microscopic evaluation in genetic hair shaft abnormalities such as Netherton syndrome, monilethrix, wooly hair syndrome, pili torti, pili annulati and trichothiodystrophy. It has also been proved trichoscopy can be useful in diagnosing acquired hair diseases including androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, cicatrical alopecia and tinea.

She is the author of the hypothesis linking etiology of systemic sclerosis to a mutation in the topoisomerase I gene and abnormal topoisomerase I expression. She believes that presence of anti-topoisomerse I antibodies in sera of patients with scleroderma represents a protective reaction to these abnormalities. This hypothesis was partly confirmed by her studies. The study on which Urszula Nowicka’s doctoral thesis was based showed a mutation in the 3’ coding region of the topoisomerase gene in 56% of patients with anti-topo I – positive (Scl70-positive) systemic sclerosis. It was also indicated that specific antibodies penetrate into the nuclei of fibrobasts and inhibit the activity of topoisomerase I. Moreover, the studies evidenced that topoisomerase I inhibitor, camptothecin, down-regulates the expression of type I collagen in fibroblasts of scleroderma patients and yields immunosuppressive effects. Certain cytokines were shown to increase the activity of topoisomerase I in dermal.

Rudnicka was chairman of the Department of Dermatology CSK MSWiA in Warsaw, Poland (1998 – 2014). Since 2014, she is the chairman of the Department of Dermatology of Medical University of Warsaw. She is the president of the Polish Dermatological Society. She worked from 1990 to 1993 in American and European institutions, including the Food and Drug Administration (USA), University of Liege in Belgium (Belgium), and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia (USA).
