About Membership

Center membership helps support early investigators and promote interdisciplinary engagement and collaboration with groups outside the field of dermatology. The Center's research community comprises mor thanm 60 members from multiple schools and colleges at the University of Michigan and from the NIH and outside institutes and universities throughout the US. 

Membership Responsibilities & Guidelines

Our members are expected to exhibit responsible conduct of research, abide by all institutional regulations, including the Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee, follow Institutional Review Board regulations, and obtain appropriate permissions for all research with animals, human subjects, and biohazardous agents before such projects are initiated.

Membership supports access to:

  • Animal Modeling Core: Services for the development and use of novel models for skin-related studies in mice.
  • Functional Analytics Core: Services including systems biology analyses, disease- and cytokine-specific gene expression profiling, as well as CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing services for generating both knock-out and knock-in keratinocytes.
  • Administrative Core: Broad resources including funding opportunities and scientific enrichment opportunities for new and established skin investigators (e.g., annual symposia, visiting scholar lectures, mentoring program resources and training for early career skin researchers).
