Award for an interdisciplinary training program in skin biology at University of California, Irvine, focusing on training predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows to integrate bioengineering and computation in skin biology research.
Description
This is a training grant proposal for interdisciplinary training of predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows in skin biology. The goal is to train future skin biologists who will use multidisciplinary approaches to tackle diseases of the skin, a high priority for NIAMS. The training has implications for skin diseases with barrier dysfunction, wound healing, vascular lesions, and pigment cell diseases such as vitiligo, melasma, nevi, and melanoma.
