After submissions of their proposals, the Almirall team will review them and suggest the best way for the selected proposals to progress.

AlmirallShare’s first call is focused on increasing the understanding of skin pathology in diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne and rosacea. Almirall aims to reach researchers who share this objective in order to establish close working relationships with them and bring together major breakthroughs in this field.
