Māra Rone-Kupfere

Māra Rone-Kupfere serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, with research focused on skin cancer pathogenesis and clinical dermatology. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through clinical medicine applications.

Research Expertise:

• Actinic Keratosis and Squamous Cell Carcinoma progression mechanisms
• Biomarker expression (p53, p63, Cyclin D) in sun-damaged skin
• Dermatoscopic diagnostic techniques for early skin cancer detection
• Innovative scar management protocols
• Basal Cell Carcinoma and Rhinophyma therapeutics

Her fingerprint analysis confirms specialization in non-melanoma skin cancer with emphasis on inflammatory pathways and molecular diagnostics.

Publication Trends: Recent work (2022-2023) demonstrates consistent focus on actinic keratosis transformation pathways, evidenced by multi-marker immunohistochemical studies and dermatoscopic correlation research. Her publications bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications, particularly in elderly dermatology and field cancerization management. The output shows strong collaboration patterns with Latvian research teams led by Balcere and Krūmiņa.

Professional Leadership:

• Vice President of Latvian Association of Aesthetic Medicine (2016–present)
• Longstanding Member of Latvian Society of Dermatovenereologists (2002–present)
• Active contributor to cryosurgery workshops and scar treatment symposia

Her media engagements cover infant skincare, collagen therapies, and anatomical zone procedures, demonstrating public health communication commitment.

Research Supervision: Leads collaborative projects resulting in 26 research outputs including doctoral theses. Her supervised work focuses on molecular markers in skin carcinogenesis and clinical management of precancerous lesions, with consistent output across conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
