SBDRC Internal Advisory Board

The Internal Advisory Board members assess the extent to which the aims of the SBDRC have been achieved. It includes senior investigators at Northwestern University whose primary focus is outside of the realm of skin biology, but in cutaneous biology or in areas that would interface with the SBDRC.

SBDRC External Advisory Board

The External Advisory Board members assess the extent to which the aims of the SBDRC have been achieved. It is composed of three acknowledged experts in skin cell biology from outside of Northwestern. Three external advisers have agreed to serve and are geographically, gender and expertise diverse.
