Elaine V. Fuchs is an American cell biologist known for her work on the biology and molecular mechanisms of mammalian skin and skin diseases, who helped lead the modernization of dermatology. Fuchs pioneered reverse genetics approaches, which assess protein function first and then assess its role in development and disease.
Using mammalian skin as a model, Fuchs studies the remarkable properties of tissue stem cells, and how they know which tasks to perform and when. She explores how stem cells sense and communicate with other cells in their environment.

15 mag 2012 · We talked to the winners about their achievements and the impact these have had on human health. This month's interview is with Elaine Fuchs, who spoke to Hannah Stower.
Elaine Fuchs. Elaine Fuchs recently identified molecular differences between healthy skin stem cells and cancer stem cells. In addition to providing valuable diagnostic markers for cancer stem cells, this work may open the way toward the design of novel therapies that can target cancer-seeding stem cells while sparing their healthy counterparts.
30 mar 2020 · Elaine Fuchs entered Dr. Green’s laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow with an interest in how epithelial stem cells were regulated. There, she focused on the function and transcriptional regulation of the major structural proteins in the skin, keratins.
