Research into the pathogenesis, etiology, and prevention of skin diseases is limited and Canada lacks comprehensive systems for training high quality researchers in the properties and problems of the skin. As a direct response to the call for increased research training by key skin health stakeholders at the 2004 CIHR Skin Health Research Priorities Workshop, the CIHR Skin Research Training Centre (SRTC) was recently launched. Located at Vancouver General Hospital Department of Dermatology and Skin Science, this $1.8 million CIHR funded venture will provide skin research training to both clinicians and scientists.
