Optimizing Care Delivery and Health Equity in Patients with Melanoma
2019-2021 Public Health Career Development Award Recipient
Every disease we see in the practice of dermatology has new treatments, or even cures, awaiting development.
The DF invests in young investigators whose research has the potential to transform how we treat and care for patients. Your gifts move our specialty forward, providing hope and relief with knowledge learned. The long-term vision of the DF community, to continually look forward to what lies ahead, is one of our greatest strengths when we band together.
Because of member support for 60 years, we have:
1. Deepened our understanding
of diseases and conditions including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory dermatoses, and autoimmune skin diseases.
2. Developed innovations
including topical therapies for skin cancer, outcomes research and biologic therapies.
3. Kept talented researchers working in our field
by supporting their work at critical points where private funding is the key to their continued success.
