Meet the GRIDD Team

The Global Research on the Impact of Dermatological Diseases (GRIDD) project was conceived by the leadership of former GlobalSkin CEO Christine Janus, formulated from decades of experience working in patient-centred dermatology and healthcare.

GlobalSkin works closely with the researchers from the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and Cardiff University to drive this ambitious project forward.
