Professor Khosrotehrani is a dermatologist and clinical scientist, interested in skin biology, regenerative medicine and skin cancer. He leads the Experimental Dermatology Group at the University of Queensland Diamantina Institute within the Translational Research Institute. He is also the deputy director of the Australian Skin and Skin Cancer Research Centre in Brisbane. Dr Khosrotehrani obtained his MD from the Cochin-Port Royal School of Medicine at René Descartes University, Paris, France, where he specialized in Dermatology.

During his post-doctoral training at Tufts-New England Medical Center, Boston, USA, Dr Khosrotehrani helped establish fetal stem cells' contribution to tissue repair by demonstrating their multipotent capacity with a specific potency towards the endothelial lineage. The NHMRC acknowledged this work's originality through an achievement award (2011) and an NHMRC excellence award (2016). He is currently a fellow of the NHMRC of Australia. His laboratory's primary focus is on regenerative medicine and stem cell biology, particularly in injury response in skin wounds and skin cancer and how these responses contribute to cancer initiation and progression. Translating his laboratory findings, Dr Khosrotehrani is leading innovative clinical trials in wound healing, keratinocyte cancers and melanoma.
