Throughout the years, the SID has encouraged meeting between Residents and Post-Doc Fellows. To continue this promotion of collegiality, the SID presents a Trainee/Faculty Breakfast – small group discussions in which senior and junior faculty Residents, Pre-Doctoral Students and Post-Doctoral Fellows-discuss issues in an informal atmosphere. These gatherings provide an opportunity to talk informally about subject matters of interest including research opportunities in dermatology, life in academia or how to combine clinical work with research.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet with an international group of leaders in the field of dermatologic research. They will discuss topics such as advantages of careers in research and opportunities for advancement in academic careers. A strong emphasis will be made for retreat attendees to network with their peers.
Established in 2019, this award was established to honor the memory of Stephen I. Katz, MD/PhD.
Studies on cutaneous gene expression and genetic diseases including gene therapy (Cancer-related genetic studies are more appropriate for Carcinogenesis and Cancer Genetics)
Studies of cells, receptors and effector molecules of the innate immune response; studies on skin microbes, microbiome and infectious processes of the skin
Basic and preclinical studies aimed at developing therapeutics, elucidating their mechanisms of action, and identifying biomarkers of drug activity
Studies on the hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and other skin appendages; developmental biology of skin and hair; roles of stem cells in pre and post-natal growth and development
Studies that translate findings from laboratory studies, patient‐targeted research, or populations research into applications that improve knowledge of skin disease, patient outcomes, clinical practices, and/or public health
Select e-Poster discussions will take place at iPad terminals throughout the meeting space. The discussions will be thematic tours of selected electronic posters accompanied by a presenting author. Each poster presenter will be asked to briefly describe their work (3 minutes), followed by a short group discussion (3 minutes), that will be held with the help of a moderator

Studies on the genetics and other causes of cancer as well as mechanisms relevant to metastasis (Abstracts on therapeutics and clinical trials in skin cancer should be submitted to Translational Studies)
Studies of how the microbiome impacts inflammatory skin diseases, cutaneous host defense, skin carcinogenesis, wound healing, skin and hair regeneration, development and homeostasis.
Studies of populations, including but not limited to epidemiological studies, behavioral studies, outcomes research and human services research
Techniques and progress in single cell sequencing involving cell‐cell interactions between keratinocytes, nerves (neuro-cutaneous biology), stromal and immune cells in the skin and their local cellular and extracellular environments that affect skin inflammation, sensation (e.g., itch and pain), signaling, adhesion, migration, development and homeostasis
Studies of the pathogenesis or treatment of skin diseases that disproportionately affect patients from, or are more severe in their manifestation in, racial/ethnic groups with skin of color; such as keloids, scarring alopecias, disorders of pigmentation, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, among others
Wound healing and regeneration studies; processes/signaling that regulate vascular development and angiogenesis; interactions between different skin components (epithelial cells, dermal cells, nerves, vasculature, melanocytes, fat) in homeostasis and regeneration

The SID leadership has arranged for a private reception at a venue to be determined for those registered as Residents, Post-Docs, and Students. The evening will provide attendees the opportunity to informally network with your peers.
Studies of adaptive immune responses involving T and B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, other antigen presenting cells, and antigen processing and presentation; Basic and pre-clinical experimental studies focused on autoimmunity
Research on the components or regulation of keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, including epidermal barrier function
Studies involving direct interaction with patients, including but not limited to therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, and outcome measures
Studies on biological, biochemical, and molecular responses to ultraviolet radiation in cells, animals and humans
Studies on all aspects of cutaneous and extracutaneous pigmentation; molecular cellular and biological facets of melanoma. (Genetic studies on melanoma should be considered for the category Carcinogenesis and Cancer Genetics)
