Welcome to the Hampton University
Skin of Color Research Institute

HUSCRI was established in 2009 by Hampton University president Dr. William R. Harvey and is the first of its kind in the state of Virginia. The Institute will build on research and infrastructure investments made at Hampton University (HU) to expand our understanding of skin diseases that disproportionately impact people with skin of color and translate these findings to benefit the community through deeper understanding, better therapies and ultimately healthier people.
