EB research projects

DEBRA UK is the largest UK funder of EB research, awarding grants to researchers with expertise in the scientific and medical fields most relevant to families living with EB.

Our portfolio of research projects includes preclinical laboratory work, research into gene and cell therapies and drug repurposing, as well as projects driving a change in symptom relief for wound healing and cancer therapy.

The research we fund is world class, and that’s because we don’t just fund UK scientists and clinicians but the best in the world. Many of the projects we fund combine knowledge and skill from researchers at multiple research sites in the UK and internationally.
