For me, the ADF is above all a place where early-career researchers are supported, connected, and inspired to pursue dermatological research. At the same time, it brings together generations of researchers and fosters a lively exchange among peers.

Welcome to the ADF
Welcome to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dermatologische Forschung (ADF), a leading scientific association dedicated to advancing research in dermatology and its related disciplines.
Our mission is to promote excellence in dermatological research by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthening scientific partnerships across German-speaking countries. We provide a platform for researchers, clinicians, and scientists to exchange knowledge, develop innovative ideas, and translate discoveries into improved patient care.
Supporting the next generation of dermatology researchers is at the heart of our work. Through a range of fellowships, grants, and scientific awards, the ADF is committed to encouraging young investigators and helping them build successful academic careers.
The ADF works in close collaboration with the German Dermatological Society (DDG), contributing to a strong and vibrant research community dedicated to advancing dermatological science.
We invite you to explore our activities, connect with our members, and join us in shaping the future of dermatological research.
