Research Award for Atopic Dermatitis

- The Research Award for Atopic Dermatitis is supported by DERMAGNOSTIX GmbH -

Since 2018 the ADF has the possibility to award a prize for outstanding research in the field of atopic dermatitis. This award is supported by DERMAGNOSTIX GmbH.

The new atopic dermatitis research award is dedicated to scientists who in their work elucidated cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development of atopic dermatitis. Furthermore, the prize can be given to scientists characterizing the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis and providing potential novel therapeutic options for the treatment of the disease. Finally, clinical as well as epidemiologic studies investigating individuals with atopic dermatitis can be awarded. Junior scientists who present outstanding and innovative work in this field are preferably considered.

The award is endowed with 2.500 €.

The selection of the awardee is done by a jury (headed by the leader of the ADF-research group “atopic dermatitis) during the ADF annual meeting. All abstracts (poster or presentation) focusing on atopic dermatitis research that have been submitted in time to the annual meeting of the ADF will be considered. The awardee is asked to publish a short report in the ADF home journal Experimental Dermatology.
