Award Purpose:
The award encourages a trainee dermatologist who has demonstrated scholarship and initiative in the study of nail disorders to further pursue a career related to nail disease. The project shall be presented the subsequent year
during a Masterclass (virtual event).
Personal Statement by Ralph and Melissa Daniel:
We have greatly benefited from the medical field, especially in dermatology and nail disorders. When we began writing about nails and nail research in the 1970's, there were only a handful of us that concentrated on nail disorders. We were able to partner early on with Richard Scher who kindly helped foster our burgeoning interest. We also appreciated the work of Robert Baran and Nardo Zaias. Now we hope, in some modest fashion, to assist the next generation of onychologists.
