The Mount Sinai Skin Biology and Diseases Resource-Based Center (SBDRC), is funded by a $4 million, five-year P30 grant from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). SBDRC serves as a hub for research in skin biology and skin diseases throughout the Mount Sinai Health System, New York City, and the tristate region—one of six SBDRCs nationwide supported by a NIAMS grant.

SBDRC uses technical innovations, high-end infrastructure, and computing power to advance and support skin research. SBDRC also organizes in-person and virtual events, including seminars and research-in-progress talks, to facilitate collaboration in cutaneous biology and diseases. The SBDRC awards pilot grants and scholarships to reduce cost barriers and expand access to advanced technologies for innovative projects. The SBDRC established the Mount Sinai Skin Scholars Program to provide dedicated learning in skin biology and diseases for high school students, with the goal of inspiring and training the next generation of scientists.
