Research Impact

The BAD has invested nearly £9.2 million in research over the past 10 years. See our infographic for more details of this breakdown.

Find out more

Research is central to the practice of dermatology because there are so many areas of skin disease where we don’t fully understand the pathogenesis or have good treatments. The goal of research is to solve these problems so we can offer prevention and better treatment to patients.
