The Australasian Society for Dermatology Research (ASDR) is a not for profit organisation whose mission is to promote dermatology research in Australia. Affiliated with the Society of Investigative Dermatology in the USA and the Japanese Society for Dermatology Research, the ASDR unites clinicians and scientists participating in Dermatology Research. The third Annual Scientific Meeting of the ASDR will be held immediately prior to the 39th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian College of Dermatologists.
The focus of the ASDR meeting is original scientific research, including basic skin biology, cutaneous immunology, stem cell research and pharmacology and is different to the clinical focus of the ACD meeting. The ASDR meeting will provide a forum for dermatologists, immunologists and other medical practitioners to present their research alongside senior scientists and junior researchers.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of basic skin biology, immunology and molecular genetics as they pertain to skin disease;
- Apply new scientific methodologies, tools and applications in the workplace;
- Identify and illustrate recent advances in cutaneous pharmacology, including antisense therapy and biological fusion molecules that may have a bearing on the future delivery of patient care;
- Formulate, collaborate and present new research ideas in a scientific forum that allows for scrutiny.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Dermatologists, Dermatology Registrars, Immunologists, Pathologists, Scientists, Skin Researchers.
This program has been accepted for CPDP category A accreditation by: Australasian College of Dermatologists
