Targeting inflammatory skin disease using an immune-modulatory human signal peptide [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Effective drugs are desperately needed for the improved treatment of inflammatory diseases. We will determine how a modified human peptide, which we have discovered and can make, works to suppress harmful skin inflammation. We will design new formulations to deliver our drug to the skin in order to better treat psoriasis, an autoinflammatory skin disease. We will also trial our new drug in models of atopic dermatitis a debilitating skin disease for which there is limited treatment options.
