Mangaluru, Dec 16: Dr Ganesh S.Pai, managing director of Derma-Care, Skin and Cosmetology Centre has been invited as an expert and chairman in Advisory Board meeting related to Superficial Cutaneous Fungal Infection on December 17 (Sunday) to Mumbai.

Hence the team is evaluating the possibility and feasibility of conducting one such study in India.

The objectives of the meeting are mentioned below:
To review the current clinical situation of superficial cutaneous fungal infection in India.
To understand the key unmet needs related to management of SCFI.
To assess the feasibility of conducting the proposed study in India.
