Small skin biopsies of your skin
About the Study:
In people of different ancestry groups, skin aging appears to manifest at a slower rate than in Caucasians. Currently, a lot of research is being done to identify how skin structure and composition are involved on skin aging. In this study, we are going to investigate skin elasticity and molecular changes from different ancestry groups to try to understand the differences in aging among them.
Compensation for time and travel available up to $150.
