Seminars:

Panel Discussion: Bridging the Innovation-Impact Gap: What Will Define the Next Decade of Dermatology Drug Development? 2:30 pm

• How will new modalities (gene therapy, senotherapeutics, trispecifics) reshape pipelines? • What breakthroughs are needed to close the 80% treatment gap? • How can we institutionalize patient-centric, implementation-first drug design? • What changes are coming from FDA and EMA regarding animal testing, inclusion criteria, and biomarkers? • Who's responsible for driving system-wide adoption: industry,…Read more

day: Day Two PM

Workshop A: Decoding Immune Crosstalk in Complex Skin Diseases to Inform Translational Strategy 9:00 am

Understanding the cellular interplay in chronic and immunemediated skin diseases is critical to uncover pathogenic nodes earlier in development. This interactive workshop will explorethe immune–stromal–neuronal axis and how it shapes disease progression in conditions such as HS, urticaria, AD, and PN. Through discussion of human-centric approaches, spatial transcriptomics, and next-generation in vitro models, attendees will…Read more
