Raj Mallipeddi: Dermatologist and Skin Cancer Specialist in London 

Training

Dr Mallipeddi qualified from Imperial College School of Medicine and completed specialist dermatology training at St John's Institute of Dermatology, St Thomas' Hospital, London. He has always been actively involved in clinical research as a private dermatologist and spent over two years undertaking laboratory research within the Genetic Skin Disease Group at St John's Institute of Dermatology, finally being awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree for the study of squamous cell carcinoma in epidermolysis bullosa.

Dr Mallipeddi has published numerous scientific articles and lectures nationally and internationally. Upon completion of his dermatology training in the UK, he undertook a prestigious procedural dermatology fellowship at the world renowned UT Southwestern Medical Centre in Dallas, USA.  This provided subspecialist expertise in Mohs micrographic surgery, laser surgery and cosmetic dermatology. Dr Mallipeddi is one of the few Mohs surgeons in the UK who has completed advanced training in Mohs micrographic surgery, which is certified by The American College of Mohs Surgery. Mohs micrographic surgery provides an assessment of the pathology during skin cancer removal so that the cancer is traced down to its roots. This achieves the highest cure rate for many skin cancers (typically basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma on the face) yet removes the least amount of normal tissue and therefore may reduce scarring.

Experience

Since 2008 he has been the lead of The Dermatological Surgery and Laser Unit at St John's Institute of Dermatology, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London. He was also the skin cancer lead at Guys and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and previously President of the British Society for Dermatological Surgery as well as the President of the St John's Dermatological Society. Furthermore, he is chair of the UK Mohs micrographic surgery service standards and sits on the British Association of Dermatologists national guideline committees for squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and photodynamic therapy. He sees referrals from across the country and supervises the training of dermatologists in all aspects of skin surgery and lasers.
