Society for Investigative Dermatology Information

The Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) exists to advance and promote the sciences relevant to skin health and disease through education, advocacy, and scholarly exchange of scientific information. It is the goal of the SID to be the pre-eminent organization for the science of skin health and diseases. It will be a leading purveyor of educational programming. It will promote a culture of discovery and serve as the premier forum for the exchange of scientific information relating to dermatologic research. It will build cross-disciplinary bridges to provide catalytic leadership in attaining intellectual, political, and financial support for skin-related scientific investigation. The SID will be—and be viewed as—a significant force in shaping public policy. As a result of recruiting, nurturing, and mentoring the next generation of scientists, it will be a financially robust and self-sustaining organization.
