Centre for Skin Sciences

Our mission is to better understand skin and hair biology in health, with age, in relation to the environment and in disease. We have a very strong track record of successful partnerships with companies both in the UK and internationally developing innovative new products for consumers and patients. Our local to Bradford charity, the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit, provides training placements for plastic surgeon fellows to complete a PhD in an area of wound healing or burns related research. Our ethos is to maximise relevance of our work to human biology and we work together with our award-winning BioBank - Ethical Tissue - to do this. We deliver skin and hair science knowledge and expertise into undergraduate and post graduate programmes of study in the Faculty of Life Sciences and we provide an exciting research environment for our graduate and post graduate students
