Exciting Updates to Our Skin Disease Research Application Process

We will be introducing an enhanced application process for researchers dedicated to the study of skin disease over the coming months. These updates are designed to streamline the application process and open doors to expanded funding and collaboration opportunities.

Why the Change?

The landscape of dermatology is evolving rapidly. By modernizing our procedures, we aim to better support innovative studies into chronic conditions, rare skin disorders, and innovative therapeutic solutions.

When will it happen?

Applications under the new process will be available on our website in the coming months. We look forward to supporting your contribution to the future of skin health.
