The Lisa Brains PhD Scholarship was established in 2024 to help fund early career researchers interested in undertaking a PhD on a research project aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of people living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
The Scholarship was established in honour of the late Lisa Brains from Melbourne, who lived with Recessive Dystrophic EB, and sadly passed away in 2023.
Amongst being a great advocate, fundraiser, and artist, she was a much-loved individual and highly regarded for all she did to raise EB awareness. She was a great loss to the EB community, and the Lisa Brains PhD Scholarship hopes to continue her legacy.
