Dr. Elise A. Olsen
Overview
I have two areas of clinical expertise: cutaneous lymphoma and hair disorders. In the area of cutaneous lymphoma, I have focused my research on clinical trials for new treatments and consensus building to establish standard guidelines for staging, evaluation, and treatment of patients, as well as the methodology used in clinical trials. My patients are invited to participate in my ongoing database, which captures their response to treatments. My goal is to find a cure for these cancers or, barring that, long lasting remissions. In the area of hair disorders, my goal is to help referring physicians diagnose and treat effectively multiple types of hair loss. My consultative practice is now focused on scarring alopecias, including frontal fibrosing alopecia and hair loss in African-American women in which causes are not obvious. My research focuses on collaborative work with multiple centers in the United States to help create knowledge and new treatments.

Duke Dermatology Dawson Hall
After graduating from college, I was awarded a Fulbright fellowship and moved to Dublin, Ireland to work for the European Institute of Women’s Health. Shuffling between Birmingham and Boston for my medical training, I have settled in beautiful North Carolina with my husband who is a fellow in Hematology/Oncology at the University of North Carolina. We are enjoying the cultural richness of the Triangle area and the diverse landscape of North Carolina. Being a part of Duke’s amazing medical community has allowed me to pursue my clinical interest in complex medical dermatology and my translational research interest in neutrophilic skin diseases such as psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. I am actively working on projects that focus on antibody-based therapies targeting immune dysregulation in skin disease. The most gratifying experiences for me as a physician have been providing treatment and support to patients struggling with skin diseases and contributing to improvements in their overall quality of life. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, painting and making jewelry. Dr. Jaleel is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vitiligo. Her top areas of expertise are Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, and Vitiligo.
