 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin gathers leading cutaneous biology scientists and dermatologists in a uniquely designed conference to carry out its mission to: discuss new findings, techniques and goals in skin biology; foster collaborations among disciplines that enrich the scientific and clinical specialty; and encourage young investigators. Each year the Symposium addresses a different topic in skin biology encompassing major areas of active skin research and unanswered questions about causes and cures for skin diseases. The central support of this meeting is a multi-year conference grant from the NIH that allows advance planning of program themes and, accordingly, invitation of Program Chairs and highly competitive speakers. It also allows the fundraising required anew each year from corporate and foundation sources, which, along with modest registration fees, offset the balance of meeting production costs. The limited number of participants fosters the informal interactions that are the essence of the meeting. Interactions are among participants in basic research, clinical research and patient care, pharmaceutical research, and foundation research; between trainees and established scientists; and between dermatology faculty and those from other departments/fields. Participation of young scientists is strongly encouraged by presentation opportunities and by competitive travel awards. The meeting format includes clinician/scientist discussion sessions designed to identify unanswered questions, strategize to overcome roadblocks and to grasp opportunities for translation to new treatments. Lastly, the Symposium communicates its presentations through publication of proffered, peer reviewed papers in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology with waiver of fees under the Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin logo. This meeting uniquely fulfills the NIH goal to advance scientific progress in understanding of the basic structure and molecular regulation of human biology and disease. Meeting themes reflect and aim to help shape NIAMS' goals and mission. Topics planned include "The skin: Our sensory organ for itch, pain, touch, and pleasure," "Precision dermatology: Next generation prevention, diagnosis and treatment," "From vitiligo to melanoma: Interactions of the melanocyte with the immune environment in the skin," "Polygenic skin diseases," and "Microbes, Autoimmunity and Cancer." Central focus on the skin offers unique opportunities for multidisciplinary research of clinical relevance, and discoveries made in the skin have enriched knowledge and treatment options in other organs beyond the skin. The complex nature of disease makes it essential that there are comprehensive approaches recognizing the separate but interacting elements tying molecular events to the pathophysiological, tissue and clinical presentations.

 描述（由申请人提供）：Montagna皮肤生物学研讨会在一个独特设计的会议上聚集了领先的皮肤生物学科学家和皮肤科医生，以执行其使命：讨论皮肤生物学的新发现，技术和目标;促进学科之间的合作，丰富科学和临床专业; 鼓励年轻的研究人员。每年的研讨会都讨论皮肤生物学的不同主题，包括积极的皮肤研究的主要领域和有关皮肤疾病的原因和治疗的未回答的问题。这次会议的核心支持是NIH的多年会议资助，允许提前规划计划主题，并相应地邀请计划主席和极具竞争力的演讲者。它还允许每年从公司和基金会来源重新筹集资金，沿着适度的注册费，抵消了会议制作成本的余额。与会者人数有限，促进了非正式互动，而非正式互动是会议的本质。互动是在基础研究，临床研究和病人护理，药物研究和基础研究的参与者之间;学员和既定的科学家之间;皮肤科教师和其他部门/领域之间。青年科学家的参与受到了演讲机会和竞争性旅行奖的大力鼓励。会议形式包括临床医生/科学家讨论会，旨在确定未回答的问题，制定战略以克服障碍，并抓住机会转化为新的治疗方法。最后，研讨会通过在《皮肤病学研究杂志》上发表同行评议的论文来传达其演讲，并根据蒙塔尼亚皮肤生物学研讨会的标志免收费用。这次会议独特地实现了NIH的目标，即推动科学进步，了解人类生物学和疾病的基本结构和分子调控。会议主题反映并旨在帮助塑造NIAMS的目标和使命。计划的主题包括“皮肤：我们的痒，疼痛，触摸和快乐的感觉器官”，“精确皮肤病学：下一代预防，诊断和治疗”，“从白癜风到黑色素瘤：黑色素细胞与皮肤免疫环境的相互作用”，”多基因皮肤病”和“微生物，自身免疫和癌症”。“对皮肤的集中关注为临床相关性的多学科研究提供了独特的机会，在皮肤中的发现丰富了皮肤以外其他器官的知识和治疗选择。疾病的复杂性质使得有必要有全面的方法来识别将分子事件与病理生理、组织和临床表现联系在一起的独立但相互作用的元素。
