Skin Biology and Diseases Resource-based Center

The Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-based Center (SBDRC) 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.

Our three distinct research core facilities are designed to help Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-based Center investigators accomplish their research goals related to cutaneous biology and to support newly recruited junior investigators who are interested in skin research. The cores strive to enhance the research progress of all center members via access to specialized techniques, expertise, biological analysis and instrumentation while optimizing capabilities at cost effective rates. Each core has a dedicated, well-trained staff member whose primary role is the education and assistance of center members in the special techniques available in that core.
