72nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin

72nd Annual Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin is organized by Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and will be held from Oct 16 - 20, 2025 at Salishan Coastal Lodge, Gleneden Beach, Oregon, United States of America.

Description:
They are at an unprecedented nexus in medical research with the rise of distinct therapeutic platforms that promise definitive therapies for previously chronic or incurable diseases. Because of its accessibility, the skin has traditionally provided mechanistic insights that underpin the platform, and a proving ground for the early human studies.

At the 72nd annual Montagna Symposium, participants will learn about the basic science underpinnings for exciting emerging small molecule, antibody, RNA, and cell and gene therapeutics, early successes of the platform and their targets, and gaps in knowledge where additional investigation will lead to improved and long-lasting definitive therapies.

Objectives:

1. Further the attendees’ understanding of the mechanistic basis of tissue regeneration therapies and the current patient responses.
2. Elucidate the mechanistic basis of precision immune therapies and the current patient responses
3. Explore the mechanistic basis of novel immunomodulatory therapies and the current patient responses.
4. Gain a better understanding of the mechanistic basis of RNA medicines and the current patient responses
5. Explore the mechanistic basis of novel cancer therapeutics and the current patient responses, generating dialogue to bridge these gaps and inspire research directions.
6. Facilitate networking activities as a catalyst for future collaborative research endeavors and relationships
