Elizabeth Berry, M.D. (she/her)

  • Associate Professor of Dermatology, School of Medicine
  • Director of the Multidisciplinary Pigmented Lesion Clinic, Dermatology, School of Medicine

Biography

Dr. Berry has dedicated her career to treating patients with melanoma and those who are at high risk for the disease. She chose the field of dermatology because she believes that early detection of skin cancer is the best chance for a cure. Along with seeing patients, Dr. Berry has research interests in better understanding genetic risk factors for melanoma and future technologies that will better allow clinicians to identify skin cancers. Dr. Berry is excited to join the team at OHSU and formally wage War on Melanoma™.

In her spare time, Dr. Berry enjoys spending time with her husband and dog, running in Forest Park, and sampling Portland’s brunch spots. She is looking forward to expanding her repertoire of outdoor activities and exploring all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
