The diverse group of grantees make up this year\u2019s third and final round of research grants from the Foundation \u2013 aiming at supporting research of the highest quality to discover more about the skin, its diseases and health, improving upon the lives of people living with skin diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers pursue advances in both diagnosis and understanding of skin diseases, potentially offering insights capable of improving the quality of life&nbsp;of those affected. Per example, Professor Edel O\u2019Toole\u2019s project focuses on the genetic skin disease steatocystoma multiplex (SM), aiming to establish new insight into the rare and embarrassing condition \u2013 which causes many painful, smooth, and yellow cysts on the skin. The research offers potential contribution to the development of a new treatment for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, Kevin Cooper\u2019s project tackles the inflammatory skin disease psoriasis, which causes red, itchy scaly patches on the skin. The research attempts to improve psoriasis treatment by better understanding the genetics of responders and non-responders to medication. The project therefore hopes to contribute to the development of a diagnostic test that may further facilitate improved treatment of the individual patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grantees and detailed descriptions of their research projects can be found below, where you can gain better understanding of their focus and impact upon the global scene of dermatological research.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  [data-block_60361a133b80a] p {\n    column-count: 1;\n    column-gap: 30px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research projects selected for funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"text-cols text-cols-columns-1 text-cols align\" data-block_603616583b808>\n  \n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n  [data-block_603616583b808] p {\n    column-count: 1;\n    column-gap: 30px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block-accordion-element accordion align\" data-block_615424d5e448b>\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pl-0 order-1\">\n      <div class=\"d-flex flex-row align-items-center h-100\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-collapse collapsed p-0 mr-3\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-block_615424d5e448b\" title=\"Click to expand\"><\/button>\n        <div class=\"d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n          <h3>Christian Olsen<\/h3>\n                      <h5>Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, DKK 3m<\/h5>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pr-0 order-sm-first order-first order-sm-2\">\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-956x1024.png\" class=\"w-100 h-auto\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-956x1024.png 956w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-768x823.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-1434x1536.png 1434w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-1912x2048.png 1912w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Christian-Olsen-2-e1637759476624-960x1028.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 py-4 px-0 collapse fade out order-3\" id=\"collapse-block_615424d5e448b\">\n      <p><strong>Auto-inducing peptides (AIPs) for treatment of skin infections caused by staphylococci<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The research project by Professor Christian Olsen pursues a cutting-edge strategy for the treatment of skin infections.<\/p>\n<p>Staphylococcal bacteria are the most common cause of skin and soft tissue infections, and with the rise of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), this new strategy could \u2013 if successful \u2013 help prevent minor infections from becoming severe medical conditions. Furthermore, the strategy could minimize the risk of emerging antibiotic resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Bacteria produce and release molecules known as \u2018virulence factors\u2019 which cause damage. The production of these harmful molecules is regulated through a form of cell-to-cell communication called \u2018quorum sensing\u2019, where the concentration of virulence factors increases as a function of cell density. The present project aims to weaken the severity of bacterial skin infections by inhibiting \u2018quorum sensing\u2019 with synthetic auto-inducing peptide (AIP) analogs, and as a result, decrease the excretion of virulence factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Quorum sensing\u2019 inhibition will target the severity of the bacterial infection, rather than the viability of the individual bacterium and represents an alternative to antibiotics, as there is no evolutionary pressure on the individual bacterium to develop towards a state that is not affected by these compounds. Therefore, minimal risk of emerging antibiotic resistance is to be expected from this strategy.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 border-wb order-4\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-accordion-element accordion align\" data-block_6154251ae448c>\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pl-0 order-1\">\n      <div class=\"d-flex flex-row align-items-center h-100\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-collapse collapsed p-0 mr-3\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-block_6154251ae448c\" title=\"Click to expand\"><\/button>\n        <div class=\"d-flex flex-column justify-content-center\">\n          <h3>Claire Higgins<\/h3>\n                      <h5>Senior Lecturer, Imperial College London, United Kingdom, DKK 3.4m<\/h5>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-sm-8 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 border-wt pr-0 order-sm-first order-first order-sm-2\">\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-918x1024.png\" class=\"w-100 h-auto\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-918x1024.png 918w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-269x300.png 269w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-768x856.png 768w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-1377x1536.png 1377w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545-960x1071.png 960w, https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/Claire-Higgins-ed2-1-e1637759565545.png 1598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 py-4 px-0 collapse fade out order-3\" id=\"collapse-block_6154251ae448c\">\n      <p><strong>New diagnostic tool for scleroderma based on the detection of non-coding RNA biomarkers from skin interstitial fluid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claire Higgins\u2019 project aims to develop an early-stage diagnostic tool for scleroderma, a disease caused by an overproduction of collagen in both the skin and connective tissues, leading to a scarring of the skin and internal organs.<\/p>\n<p>Among the early symptoms of scleroderma are poor blood circulation in fingers and toes, and an increased sensitivity to cold, which in many aspects is comparable to the much more common Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon, and hence, scleroderma is often undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing the fact that certain molecules change expression level during disease (\u2018biomarker\u2019 molecules), Claire Higgins aims to identify scleroderma-specific biomarkers in the liquid between individual skin cells, i.e., in the skin interstitial fluid. The identified biomarkers will be used to develop a non-invasive and painless test for general practitioners (GPs), enabling fast diagnosis &#8211; within minutes &#8211; and thereby differentiation between patients suffering from scleroderma and Raynaud\u2019s phenomenon.

The cysts in SM are believed to arise from the lining of these glands. The team will use single cell RNA sequencing and look at gene expression in individual cells lining the cyst and from the surrounding tissue, to understand the genetic differences.\u00a0 In parallel, the O\u2019Toole group will engineer cells from the sebaceous gland with and without the defect in the Keratin 17 gene. These cells will be used to form 3D skin models and cysts that mimic SM. Finally, drugs that target pathways of interest identified from the RNA sequencing will be used to \u2018treat\u2019 the 3D model, thereby adding to the many insights around SM expected from this project.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"offset-md-2 offset-lg-2 offset-xl-3 col-sm-16 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-10 border-wb order-4\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:77px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-coal-color has-primary-peach-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/leo-foundation.org\/en\/projects-granted\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All grantees and awardees<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"text-cols text-cols-columns-1 text-cols align\" data-block_603617303b809>\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Application and evaluation process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LEO Foundation received a total of 33 applications from 17 different countries for this round.
