Abstract

The Gordon Research Seminar on Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas. This seminar will be in line with the following Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin. The topics will cover the fundamentals of skin barrier and technological advances in this field including transdermal drug/vaccine delivery, skin disease and pathologies, trauma and wound management, and in silico modeling to investigate barrier properties. The GRS provides an exciting opportunity for young researchers to present their work in front of their peers, and gain confidence for the following GRC. The seminar also holds a career development session with mentors from academia and industries; and is a great platform to start networking within the community, meet colleagues with similar interests and build awesome collaborations.
