Affiliated Centers
Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-Based Center
The Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-Based 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.
CounterACT Center for Excellence (NUCCX)
The NUCCX leverages research findings from successful Northwestern University investigations related to wound repair and inflammation by taking them into a clinical setting. Information generated from this clinical research will improve patient care to those suffering from Sulfur Mustard injury. We are funded through the NIH-National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
