Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Grants

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a genetic condition affecting approximately 1:17,000 live births. In the UK there are an estimated 4-5,000 people with the condition, with around 300,000 worldwide. The condition is always painful, frequently very disabling and life threatening and, in its most severe forms, babies die within the first two years of life. DEBRA invites applications for research grants for projects of relevance to Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
