Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin

Mission:
The mission of the Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin is fourfold:
• To thoroughly cover one aspect of dermatology and skin biology annually, identifying unsolved problems and long-term goals
• To allow the exchange and acquisition of new knowledge on a formal basis and provide a proving ground for new concepts, and to share these with the greater scientific and medical community
• To integrate topics at the interfaces of disciplines, fostering new collaborations and developing and translating animal models to human benefit, and moving research into clinical practice.
• To bring senior-level clinicians and scientists in dermatology together with junior investigators, residents, fellows, and trainees to build interactive, collaborative, and supportive relationships. Inspiring the next generation of clinicians and scientists.
