Prof. Dr. Klara Mosterd is a dermatologist and Head of the Dermatology Department at the Maastricht UMC+ Comprehensive Cancer Centre in the Netherlands. She is a Mohs surgeon whose clinical work focuses on multidisciplinary care for high‑risk skin cancer and patients with Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome. Her research centres on optimising care for patients with keratinocyte carcinomas and their precursors, with particular emphasis on non‑invasive diagnostics and treatment approaches that reduce the burden of invasive procedures.

Prof. Mosterd received her medical degree and specialist training in dermatology in the Netherlands and has established an internationally recognised research programme in oncodermatology. In 2022, she was appointed Full Professor of Oncodermatology. She serves as principal investigator for numerous multicentre randomised controlled trials evaluating care for basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis, generating key evidence that informs clinical guidelines. Her work has been instrumental in establishing non‑invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques as robust alternatives to invasive procedures. Among other contributions, her research supported the international implementation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a non‑invasive diagnostic tool for skin cancer. Her research is funded by several organisations, including the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development.
