Your Cells and Our Science: Investigating a Personalized Therapeutic Approach to RDEB

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis (RDEB) is a progressive, devastatingly painful and debilitating genetic disorder, and one of the most chronic and severe types of epidermolysis bullosa (EB). For people living with the RDEB, even the slightest touch, rub or scratch can lead to severe blistering or large patches of missing skin.

Research into the underlying genetic mutations that cause RDEB has advanced considerably in recent years leading to new opportunities to create personalized biologics with disease-modifying potential.
