About North Eastern Skin Research Fund
The North Eastern Skin Research Fund was set up in 1966 in Newcastle upon Tyne to promote research into the cause, prevention and treatment of skin disorders
The charity provides research grants for dermatology researchers to investigate the causes of skin disease. Many future dermatology research leaders have been helped by the NESRF in the early phases of their careers . We are actively investigating a number of key disease areas including psoriasis, atopic eczema, wound healing, stem cells, skin cancer and melanoma. We wish to continue developing the fund to support research which needs to be done to help patients who suffer from disabling and sometimes life threatening skin disease.

North East Skin
North East Skin (NES) is a member organisation formed to promote and support dermatology research in North East England. NES members aim to publicise their research contributions to show the important work that is being delivered in the North East. NES also aims to galvanise support for the NESRF from the dermatology community and the general public. Skin disorders can be very disabling, causing physical symptoms and affecting every area of life. Research has led the way to improve the lives of those affected by skin disease but more work is needed.
