Funded Activity Summary

The human skin plays a crucial role in the body’s defence against our hostile environment. The outer most layer of the skin, the epidermis is essential for formation and repair of the skin barrier. We have identified a family of genes that are pivotal for skin development and function. Disruption of these genes has disastrous consequences, including loss of barrier function and the development of skin cancers. This project examines how these diseases occur.
