EB is a cruel genetic skin condition where even a gentle touch can cause blistering, raw wounds, and unbearable pain. It can lead to devastating complications such as infections and skin cancer. Thousands live in daily agony, yet research is desperately underfunded and underrepresented. With no cure and few specialists, progress is slow. But DEBRA is urgently funding PhD students to build the research workforce EB so desperately needs and bring more hope of a life free from pain.

DEBRA UK is the UK’s largest, and one of the world’s largest, funder of EB research. To end the pain of this devastating condition, we must urgently invest in the next generation of researchers. Your support will help fund PhD students working with leading experts to build vital knowledge, develop treatments, and move closer to a cure. Every second counts. Every second someone with EB is in pain is one too many. Together, we can ease pain today and find treatments for tomorrow.
