Mission

 

The ultimate goal of the skin research group is to increase the capacity to perform research on skin disorders and diseases in Canada and to identify novel preventative and therapeutic strategies. To achieve this goal, we have initiated the assembly of a multidisciplinary Skin Research Group (SRG) focusing on skin repair, regeneration, and restoration.

Skin Research Group is represented by a consortium of new and established investigators in basic and clinical research disciplines. An important component will be to foster the participation of patient alliance groups and patient advocacy groups. The specific objective of the Skin Research Group conference is to identify priority research areas, ascertain patient and industry needs, and develop partnerships. Consolidation of teams may facilitate application for major research funding at the provincial, national, and international levels.
