title: Teamwork and leadership: the development of the National Psoriasis Tissue Bank.
abstract: The National Psoriasis Tissue Bank is the first tissue bank of its kind for psoriasis, providing cell lines and DNA samples to researchers worldwide who are actively seeking to locate the genes that cause psoriasis. Developed by a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team, the tissue bank is also an interesting study in teamwork and leadership, as well as an excellent example of the expanding roles and opportunities for nurses.
