Nisma Mujahid

Dr. Nisma Mujahid serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Utah, providing specialized care at University of Utah Hospital and Stansbury Health Center. Her clinical expertise centers on pigmentary disorders in diverse populations, with strong commitment to medical education and research.

Her academic foundation includes:

• MD, PhD from Boston University School of Medicine
• Dermatology Residency at University of Utah Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine
• Internal Medicine Internship at University of Florida
• B.S. in Biochemistry and Pre-Medicine from Mississippi State University

Dr. Mujahid's research critically examines pigmentary disorders including vitiligo and lichen planus pigmentosa, with specialized focus on skin of color and multi-ethnic dermatology. Her work bridges clinical practice and translational science, addressing therapeutic gaps in conditions affecting underrepresented populations while investigating systemic issues like gender representation in academic dermatology.

Analysis of her publication record reveals three dominant research trajectories: molecular mechanisms of pigmentation (particularly UV-independent pathways), clinical interventions for scarring disorders, and health equity studies. Her interdisciplinary approach spans human dermatology, veterinary comparative models, and evidence-based procedural reviews.

No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials.

She actively mentors dermatology residents and medical students, with patient feedback averaging 4.9/5 across 389 reviews highlighting her clinical thoroughness and patient-centered communication, though occasional notes mention scheduling challenges. Her educational leadership extends to curriculum development in pigmentary disorders and skin of color.
