Wyeth Pharmaceuticals has launched ‘Advances in Psoriasis’, a new research grant programme to encourage and support ground-breaking research into a greater understanding of psoriasis and related disorders.
Professor Alberto Giannetti, President of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, urged: ‘This is an excellent opportunity for researchers who require funding for novel projects in this area and they should apply immediately. The judging panel will be looking for new ideas based on sound scientific rationale.’
Applications from researchers based in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are invited for a total of six grants each worth ?100,000. These will be awarded for studies in the inflammatory pathogenesis of psoriasis and TNF-related skin disorders. Successful applicants will be selected by an expert panel of independent international leaders in dermatology.
Ulf Wiinberg, President, Wyeth Europe, Middle East, Africa and Canada, commented: ‘We are a key sponsor of World Psoriasis Day and we hope that the Advances in Psoriasis programme will eventually lead to real improvements in quality of life for patients with psoriasis around the world.’
