Research Grant
Japanese Dermatological Association Basic Medical Research Grant was founded by the Japanese Dermatological Association in 1967 to promote and support the basic medical researches in the field of dermatology in Japan with donation provided by Shiseido.
Many of the previous recipients play active roles as dermatologists and dermatology researchers across Japan, and 60% of the current professors in dermatology in Japanese universities have been awarded this grant in the past.
