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 the key structural component of the skin barrier and is essential for its integrity. We have identified a family of genes that are pivotal for epidermal barrier formation, maintenance and repair. This project examines the mechanisms that underpin the function of this family, and has broad ramifications in a host of dermatological conditions.
