Fellowship Projects

Bringing the brightest new scientists to the quest for a cure for scleroderma is a key goal of the Scleroderma Research Foundation. In the past two years, four Postdoctoral Fellows have been added to the ranks of Foundation-funded researchers. Overseen by senior scientists, these “postdocs” work to uncover many of the mysteries of scleroderma. This exciting program offers an opportunity to focus talented young scientists on specific research questions and leverage the momentum created by our lead investigators.
