Summary: Supports mid-career investigators advancing research on dermatological issues related to mechanisms of Type 2 inflammation.
The Mechanisms of Type 2 Inflammation Mid-Career Award, supported by the Dermatology Foundation and Sanofi-Regeneron, is designed to propel the research of outstanding mid-career investigators in dermatology. The award focuses on advancing innovative basic, clinical, or translational research that deepens understanding of mechanisms underlying Type 2 inflammation in skin disorders. Projects are expected to yield new insights into dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, bullous pemphigoid, and other Type 2 inflammation-related diseases. The program aims to support researchers at a pivotal career stage, helping them establish independent research trajectories and compete for major external funding.
