Fostering skin and epithelial biology research.
Since 2009, the Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-Based Center (formerly the Skin Disease Research Center) has promoted outstanding bench and clinical research in cutaneous biology by providing high-quality technical services, enhancing education and communication among our members and facilitating translational research. We are funded through the NIH National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
