The four grant awardees ultimately selected were:
- Dr. Allison C. Billi, MD, Ph.D., and Assistant Professor in the Dept of Dermatology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Billi's primary research goal is to understand "what drives photoaging." The grant will fund research to identify targetable pathways that help prevent or potentially reverse the effects of photoaging.
- Dr. Angel S. Byrd, MD, Ph.D. and Assistant Professor at Howard University College of Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor at JHUSOM (Departments of Dermatology). Dr. Byrd's work focuses on the genetic basis of melasma. This grant will fund research to help discover unknown genetic causes of melasma to design personalized treatment options.
- Dr. Mae Alexandra Carpenter, Ph.D. Trainee at Wright State University. Dr. Carpenter's work explores how damaged DNA-containing particles are released and how they activate inflammatory pathways. Funding this research will help develop new therapeutic approaches to reduce UVB photosensitivity in autoinflammatory diseases.
- Dr. Jennifer Powers, MD and Clinical Associate Professor in the Dept of Dermatology at the University of Iowa. Dr. Powers is interested in the influence of the microbiome and the healing environment on wound healing and scar formation. Funding for this research will help understand how the immune system and microbiota interact to modify scar formation from ulcers and surgical wounds.
"Congratulations to each of our 2022 grant award recipients," added Dr. Gildea. "These individuals were carefully chosen in collaboration with the Society for Investigative Dermatology—and we are thrilled to support their research."
