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.  Appropriately for the north east’s lead in this field, it was the first charitable trust for skin disease to be set up in England. It is a charity (248634) registered as a limited company. The current directors are Prof Reynolds, Prof Rajan and Dr Hampton.

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.
