OverviewAI-generated summary

Sara Shalin, a Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, focuses her research on dermatopathology and related diagnostic and molecular mechanisms. Her recent publications investigate emerging entities in dermal melanocytic tumors, the molecular profiling of syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum, and the diagnostic utility of direct immunofluorescence for cutaneous vasculitis.

Shalin's work also addresses clinical recommendations and diagnostic challenges in dermatology, including appropriate use criteria for ancillary diagnostic testing and potential pitfalls in diagnosing conditions like sebaceous gland atrophy. She has published on immune overlap in bullous dermatosis and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with platelet-derived growth factor-D rearrangement. Her research group collaborates with colleagues including Megan S. Evans, Brian Koss, Kirk L. West, and Erin M. Taylor, all at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

With an h-index of 21, 2,328 total citations, and 148 publications, Shalin is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Her recent activity indicates ongoing contributions to the field of dermatopathology.
