SHAPING THE FUTURE OF DERMATOLOGY




2017 ANNUAL REPORT

3


1

Every patient success story we see today began with something simple—

An unanswered question.

Across decades of progress in our specialty, we’ve watched the support of research blossom into groundbreaking new understanding of disease, important new treatments for patients, and clinical innovations that move our specialty forward. Looking back on a tradition of discovery, we believe that: for every disease we see in the practice of dermatology…there is a treatment or cure out there, awaiting development.

This is our extraordinary opportunity as a specialty—and this is our mission as the Dermatology Foundation.

Because of your generous support in 2017, the DF was able to make major investments in foundational work across the full breadth of our specialty— and the research we fund today will change patients’ lives tomorrow.

Even as we reflect on one of the most important years of our five-decade history, we know we’re still just getting started.

Established in 1964, the Dermatology Foundation’s mission is to fund research that furthers the specialty and helps the leaders of tomorrow advance in their research pursuits.

From the Trustees: A Year in Review

Every year, physicians and other investigators step forward with new ways to explore the most important research questions in our specialty. Every year, we step forward to invest in their work—helping to bridge the gap between research and the treatments that change patient care.

In 2017, we showed what is possible when we come together to move our specialty forward: significant support for wide-ranging research; promising developments and breakthroughs from past DF awardees; a new award to provide medical students belonging to an underrepresented minority group in medicine with a 6- to 12-week in-depth investigative experience—these are just a few highlights of what you will find in this year’s Annual Report. As we reflect on another year of extraordinary impact, we know that our shared work toward clinical innovations and new treatments remains as vital as ever.

We succeed together when we invest together.

In 2017, our members contributed $2.6 million to move our specialty forward. We remain the leading private funding source for skin disease research, and we celebrate the deep investments of our colleagues. In particular, we are thankful for:

20 members who stepped up to make pledges of $25,000 to enter the Annenberg Circle

16 new members who gave $5,000 beyond their Annenberg Circle pledge to become Annenberg Circle Sustaining members

128 members who gave $1,500 to join the Leaders Society (32 of whom have completed their residency within the last five years)

Outside of our member contributions, we are grateful to our corporate and society supporters, who contributed a total of $1.77 million. We extend a special thanks to:

Three Platinum Benefactors, who each contributed $200,000 or more: Galderma, Ortho Dermatologics, and Unilever

Five additional Corporate Society members who gave $50,000 or more

15 total specialty societies who supported the DF, including the American Academy of Dermatology and the Women’s Dermatologic Society who each supported at $55,000

Investment drives innovation.

Powered by your committed investment, we were able to grant $2.6 million in funding for 58 projects with the potential to lead to clinical innovations and new treatments. In addition to our flagship research awards program, we also launched two promising new programs aimed at driving discovery in key areas.

We are proud to launch the Diversity Research Supplement Award, created to ensure that the field of dermatology and the specialty’s academic workforce reflects the world we live in. This important new award provides $5,000 for a medical student who identifies with an underrepresented minority (URM) group to participate in a full-time research plan. The award is available to recent recipients of DF career development awards and is used to support existing research for 6 to 12 weeks.

We are also excited to introduce the Stiefel Scholar Award, created as a result of a generous $1 million contribution from Charles and Daneen Stiefel to

further research on the molecular and cellular basis of skin cancer. Providing $100,000 per year for three years, this award is intended to support three mid-career researchers.

Outside of our research awards, we celebrate the continued success of the DF’s Clinical Symposia—a highly regarded CME program for practicing dermatologists and a unique educational experience that attendees describe as informative and highly relevant for the practicing dermatologist. In 2017, the meeting reached capacity with 400 attendees, and featured 13 faculty presenters, eight of whom were former DF award recipients.

The work of the DF is carried forward by its many volunteers.

The DF would not have been able to accomplish what it did in 2017 without a base of volunteers who generously give their time, expertise and resources, including:

The Board of Trustees and all our volunteers, who carried out the DF mission and devoted their time and energy to expanding its reach for the sake of physicians and patients

The Medical & Scientific Committee and its panel, who set aside hours to review and rank 2018 applications for research funding

Dr. Jim Ertle, the outgoing Chair of the Annenberg Circle Committee, along with the Vice Chair, Dr. Elizabeth McBurney, who made invaluable contributions— along with members of the Annenberg Circle Committee—to the Annenberg Circle Campaign

Kim B. Yancey, M.D. President

Bruce U. Wintroub, M.D. Chairman, Board of Trustees

Dr. Stuart Lessin, who chaired the national Leaders Society Campaign, as well as all the Vice and State Chairs, who donated their time to increase membership in the Leaders Society

A bright future for dermatology starts today.

New ideas, new knowledge, new treatments: all that is possible for tomorrow’s patients will be shaped by the decisions that we make now. If we continue to deepen our investment in research and support the next generation of dermatologists, the future of dermatology will be vibrant.

Dr. Ridky’s research began from the puzzle of why women, especially those who have previously been pregnant, have better melanoma outcomes than men. Reflecting on his experience in the clinic, he began with women’s observations about skin color darkening during pregnancy. He believed that identifying what stimulates melanocytes during pregnancies might expand their understanding of normal melanocyte biology. Dr. Ridky and his students connected a series of dots to discover that melanocytes (the cells involved in melanoma) are highly responsive to estrogen.

He took this knowledge into the lab and observed that by activating a particular estrogen receptor (GPER) in mice, melanocytes become more differentiated and less proliferative—and thereby more susceptible to current immunotherapies. This important finding became the foundation for future research, and received DF funding in 2018 through the Stiefel Scholar Award.

Already Dr. Ridky’s research is making tremendous progress. When testing synthetic derivatives of GPER, Dr. Ridky has found a potential new class of therapeutics that, when combined with the modern anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, cures 50% of melanoma-bearing mice. For the mice who would otherwise succumb to tumor, these results are permanent. And when they successfully clear tumors, they also show development of durable immunity that protects them against subsequent tumors when they are reinjected with melanoma cells.

Embedded in Dr. Ridky’s research are exciting implications on human melanoma treatments.

The three-year Stiefel Scholar Award will provide Dr. Ridky the time and resources to continue his studies and move the therapy forward. For Dr. Ridky, “it provides needed research support at a critical time—as we work to expand on our recent findings and move GPER agonists to first-in-human trials for melanoma and other cancers.”

Research Award Recipients

These are the people doing work today at the frontiers of our knowledge, broadening what we know and changing our approaches down the road. The Dermatology Foundation is proud to present its 2018 research award recipients, whose promising work spans the field of dermatology. Through our flagship Research Awards Program, the DF invested $2.59 million in 58 ideas with outstanding potential to advance patient care.

CHARLES & DANEEN STIEFEL SCHOLAR AWARD IN AUTOIMMUNE AND/OR CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASES

We are proud to offer a three-year research award made possible by a generous contribution from Charles and Daneen Stiefel—the 2018 Stiefel Scholar Award. This award is designed to support outstanding research committed to understanding the molecular and cellular basis of skin cancer (melanoma or non-melanoma) and/or its treatment. A generous mechanism of support providing $100,000 per year, this award is intended for mid-career investigators.

Career Development Awards

The bedrock of our work and the most competitive of our early career awards, career development awards (CDAs) support researchers at a critical juncture: when they are building the data and track record they need to win federal support for their research. The DF offers a variety of CDAs intended for projects with exceptional potential to contribute to the advancement of dermatology. Each provides $55,000 in annual salary support for up to three years.

Todd W. Ridky, M.D., Ph.D.University of Pennsylvania Inhibiting Melanoma Via a Novel and Druggable GPCR Pathway

Women, especially previously-pregnant women, have more favorable melanoma outcomes than men do. The underlying reason has been unknown, but preliminary studies in our lab indicate that much of this protection results from a newly appreciated type of estrogen receptor, called GPER, that is found on melanocytes, the cells involved in melanoma. Activating these receptors in mice reprograms the tumor melanocytes toward a more “differentiated” state that makes them more vulnerable to current immunotherapies. Now we will test the ability of new estrogen derivatives that activate only GPER, and not the classic estrogen receptor, to make immunotherapies more effective and inhibit melanoma.

Aaron M. Secrest, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.

University of Utah Clinical Utility of Patient-Reported Outcomes in Dermatology

Electronic patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are collected from all patients in our large academic dermatology department to identify symptoms and inform clinical care. We will use these PROs to determine the real-world burden of skin diseases and the effectiveness of dermatology treatments at improving quality of life. These data will enhance dermatologists’ provision of targeted and patient-centered care and counseling regarding skin disease and its treatment.

Mary L. Stevenson, M.D.

New York University Identification of Novel Risk Factors and Biomarkers for Poor Outcomes in Squamous Cell Carcinoma

While the majority of patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma have excellent prognosis, a small subset of patients will develop metastasis. Identification of which tumors will behave aggressively is essential to improved prognostication guidelines and treatment algorithms. We aim to identify novel risk factors and biomarkers associated with tumors at risk for poor outcomes.

Abigail Waldman, M.D., M.H.S.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital Skin Cancer Life Impact and Functional Evaluation (LIFE)

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)—validated questionnaires developed from patient interviews—offer potential to improve patient health outcomes. No skin cancer-specific PROMs exist despite the knowledge gap in our understanding of how skin cancer affects patient quality of life. The aim of this study is to develop such an instrument using qualitative data from patient interviews that could be rapidly implemented in clinical care.


David Y. Chen, M.D., Ph.D.

Washington University Epigenetic Regulation of Skin Homeostasis and Tumorigenesis

Increasing age and sun exposure, both major risk factors for developing skin cancer, are also associated with specific changes in DNA methylation in the skin. The goal of this study is to understand whether such changes in DNA methylation affect the ability of normal skin cells to become cancerous.

PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD

William E. Damsky, M.D., Ph.D.

Yale University Elucidating and Overcoming Mechanisms of Immunotherapy Resistance in Melanoma

Responses to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in melanoma are heterogeneous, and many patients will succumb to disease due to intrinsic or acquired resistance to therapy. Defects in tumor cell intrinsic IFNy-JAKSTAT signaling have been noted in some resistant human melanomas. We will use novel mouse models of melanoma to study the functional role these defects play in resistance to immunotherapy, and devise strategies to overcome them.

Allen W. Ho, M.D., Ph.D.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital Mechanisms of Immune Tolerance to Apoptotic Cells and Its Role in Cutaneous Autoimmunity

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) significantly impacts patients’ quality of life, socioeconomic status, and physical appearance. However, our current understanding of CLE pathogenesis is limited, making the development of targeted therapies difficult. This proposal aims to investigate how immune cells can trigger CLE by aberrantly responding to dying cells, and then to leverage this information to develop targeted therapies to treat CLE.

Benjamin H. Kaffenberger, M.D.

Ohio State University Prospective Categorization and Outcome Analysis of Cutaneous Drug Eruptions

Cutaneous adverse drug eruptions (drug rashes) are the most common skin disease in the hospital, but our current understanding of these reactions is extremely limited. This grant will support the development of new tools to differentiate the most common drug eruptions, while using national datasets to identify evidence for the importance of early and accurate recognition and intervention in these reactions.

MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD

Cecilia Larocca, M.D.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital An Implantable Microdevice for Candidate in Situ Drug Sensitivity Testing in Mycosis Fungoides

Our project will employ an innovative implantable microdevice within the native tumors of cutaneous lymphoma patients for in situ drug sensitivity testing. We will determine if local responses to drug microdoses correlate with clinical response to systemically administered treatments, and thus can serve as a rapid screen for investigational agents. Correlations with genomic markers will be performed to generate valuable therapeutic hypotheses for future trials.

Xiaolong Zhou, M.D., M.Sc.

Northwestern University Characterization of the Skin Microbiome in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is the most common type of skin lymphoma. Patients with advanced disease often suffer from, and die of, skin infections. In addition, certain bacteria can drive CTCL progression. This study will characterize the bacterial composition—the skin microbiome—of affected skin at different stages of CTCL, and also determine if decreased bacterial diversity is associated with more advanced and refractory disease.

Jillian M. Richmond, Ph.D.

University of Massachusetts Targeting the CXCR3 Chemokine Axis in Cutaneous Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease, a type of disease in which the body’s immune cells mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues. We will determine which molecular signals control the ability of these immune cells to get into the skin in lupus patients, with the hope of identifying new markers of disease and targets for treatment.

Nathan K. Archer, Ph.D.

Johns Hopkins University The Role of IL-1alpha in Atopic Dermatitis Skin Inflammation

Atopic dermatitis (AD) involves complex interactions between host and environmental factors that are not fully understood. To better understand the underlying immune mechanisms of this skin disease, we will utilize a filaggrin-deficient mouse model to investigate the role of keratinocytederived lL-1a and its interaction with the skin microbiome in promoting disease-related inflammation. Our goal is to treat AD—and potentially other inflammatory skin disorders— more effectively.

RESEARCH CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD

Ryan P. Hobbs, Ph.D.

Penn State University Cellular and Molecular Roles for Autoimmune Regulator in Early Skin Tumorigenesis

Global rates of skin cancers and autoimmune diseases are rising and creating tremendous public health and economic burdens. Aire (autoimmune regulator), already known to influence autoimmunity, is also a key protein that promotes inflammation and nonmelanoma skin tumor growth. By determining molecular functions for Aire in skin, we will identify targets for new therapeutics that may serve as alternatives to laborious, expensive, and cosmetically disruptive surgery.

Yun Liang, Ph.D.

University of Michigan The Role of VGLL3 in Regulation of Sexually Dimorphic, IFN-mediated Immune Processes

By delineating the role of the gene transcription factor VGLL3 in shaping the sex-specific responses to interferon, this study is designed to understand the molecular basis of a fundamental difference between men and women in immune regulation in skin. Clinically, it may provide a helpful target and pathway for preventing and treating autoimmune skin diseases, and also shed light on the sex-specific treatment of these diseases.

Bahram Razani, M.D., Ph.D.

University of California, San Francisco A20 Restricts Psoriatic Inflammation

People who produce less of the enzyme A20 are more susceptible to psoriasis. Thus, A20 seems to protect people against this disease. We are doing experiments to understand which components of the A20 enzyme are most important for its protective function, and how it occurs. This will help us understand why certain people develop psoriasis and identify potential new ways to treat it.

Matthew S. Goldberg, M.D.

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Melanoma Epigenetics and the Functional Role of MacroH2A in Melanoma Progression

Disruption of the epigenome (which includes the histone variant macroH2A) plays a critical role in a wide range of cancers, including melanoma. MacroH2A, which inhibits the metastatic potential of melanoma cell lines in the lab, is lost in invasive and metastatic human melanomas. Associating chromatin biology (the organizing framework) and dermatopathology, I will investigate the mechanisms through which macroH2A deficiency contributes to melanoma progression and metastasis.

Fellowships

In supporting researchers on the path to clinical innovation, the earliest investments can be the most powerful. Our fellowships support individuals who have recently completed their dermatology residency training and are embarking on careers in academic research. Each provides a one-year salary stipend of $30,000.

Christopher S. Crowley, M.D.

University of California, San Diego Investigation of the Role of the Volume Regulated Anion Channels (VRACs) in Keratinocyte Biology

The pathophysiology of Hailey-Hailey disease is poorly understood. A novel possible mechanism relates the elevated cytosolic [Ca2+] found in Hailey-Hailey disease to the activity of the recently characterized volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) that are in the outer cell membrane and regulate cell volume. We propose to interrogate the role of VRACs in Hailey-Hailey disease and perform relevant structural studies using cryoelectron microscopy.

Marianna Freudzon, M.D.

Yale University Understanding the Role of GILT in Malaria Transmission in Skin

Understanding malaria transmission at the port of entry in the skin is key to identifying effective targets for vaccine development. We will use innovative imaging technology to examine parasite motility and blood vessel invasion in the dermis at the site of the mosquito bite, focusing on the role of a key mosquito saliva protein, GILT, that binds to the parasite.

Melissa A. Kinnebrew, M.D., Ph.D.

University of California, San Francisco Defining the Mechanisms of Thermoregulation in the Skin

Subcutaneous fat not only provides the skin with structural support and nutrient storage, it is also crucial for hair follicle cycling, wound healing, systemic metabolism, and thermoregulation. We will investigate the mechanisms by which subcutaneous fat responds to cold temperatures to maintain skin barrier function. These studies may reveal therapeutic targets that can be exploited to treat chronic ulcers, lipoatrophy, and fibrosing skin disease.

Rie Takahashi, M.D., Ph.D.

University of California, Los Angeles Metabolic Landscape of Human Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinomas

We aim to improve understanding of key metabolic pathways that drive cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) in patients. In some tumors, stem cells can proliferate to promote tumor growth and, similar to proliferative cancer cells, utilize glycolysis to do so. We propose that the metabolism of SCCs is linked to their cell of origin, and that disruption of glycolysis may inhibit SCC progression.

Margaret Wat, M.D., Ph.D.

Case Western Reserve University Genetic and Molecular Mechanisms of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are the most common type of lymphomas that occur in the skin, but how they form and progress is not well understood. We will examine genetic changes in patients with early-onset CTCL to obtain insight into early triggers of this lymphoma. These results can likely improve understanding of CTCL once it has developed.

Sarah Whitley, M.D., Ph.D.

University of Pittsburgh IL-23 Regulates Cutaneous Resident Memory T Cell Development

In addition to a physical barrier, the skin is a front line where immune cells identify and combat foreign pathogens. CD4 T cells (TCs), a key immune cell, become long-lived memory TCs and endow protection from repeat pathogen challenges. This project will characterize the developmental and maintenance requirements of a newly characterized subset of IL-17- producing skin-resident memory TCs (TRM17) to provide a scientific foundation for their potential therapeutic manipulation.


2120

Grants

Each year, the DF funds research grants to support basic science, and medical and surgical studies with the potential to benefit the entire dermatologic community. These grants provide $20,000 to support the non-salary elements of a research project.

Duncan Hieu M. Dam, Ph.D.

Northwestern University Role of Scavenger Receptors in Modulation of Toll-like Receptors Activation in Viral Skin Infections

Viral infections cause a range of high-impact human cutaneous diseases. Invading pathogens are recognized by the innate immune system’s toll-like receptors (TLRs), the skin’s first line of defense. Scavenger receptors (SRs) help regulate TLR activation in animals, but virtually nothing is known about SRs in human skin. We will study them comprehensively in multiple human skin models. Results could lead to new therapeutic strategies against viruses.

William W. Huang, M.D., M.P.H.

Wake Forest University Developing the Pyoderma Gangrenosum Area and Severity Index (PGASI): An Outcome Instrument for PG

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, severe, ulcerating, and painful skin disease. A lack of validated tools to determine the impact of therapy on disease activity has resulted in the absence of a uniform therapeutic standard. This project will develop a standardized measurement instrument for PG—the PG Area and Severity Index (PGASI)—that can be used in future clinical trials.

Diversity Research Supplement Award

Achieving a workforce that mirrors every community is an important long-term challenge that can be advanced by attracting more medical students from underrepresented populations to the specialty. This year, the DF stepped up to this important challenge by introducing the Diversity Research Supplement Award. This award supports a medical student—specifically one belonging to an underrepresented minority group in medicine—as they supplement the work of a recent DF Career Development Award recipient through a 6- to 12-week in-depth investigative experience in dermatology. The DF was proud to support eight Diversity Research Supplement Awards for 2018 and is honored to contribute in this meaningful way to improving diversity in the specialty.

Emma Guttman, M.D., Ph.D.

Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai Difference in the Evaluation, Treatment and Comorbidities of Psoriasis in Patients with Skin of Color

There are significant differences in psoriasis patients between those with skin of color and Caucasians. More pigmented skin may make PASI scoring less accurate, and they may receive more combination therapy. The medical student will help to study severity evaluation in patients with skin types 5 and 6, validate a PASI scoring system, and mine two large databases to characterize treatment and comorbidity differences.

Jennifer T. Huang, M.D.

Boston Children’s Hospital Examining Racial Disparities in Dermatologic Care of Children with Cancer

Minority adults in the U.S. typically have markedly inadequate access to dermatologic care vis-à-vis Caucasians. Such data are lacking within the pediatric oncology population despite their high burden of dermatologic disease following cancer treatment. Using our demonstration that pediatric dermatologists can improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment for children with oncologic conditions, the medical student will identify the variables relevant to racial disparities and propose care improvement strategies.

University of California, San Francisco Dermatologists’ Prescriptions of Antihistamines in Older Adults

Data from the National Ambulatory Health Survey 2006-2015 Comorbid conditions, polypharmacy, and altered pharmacokinetics may place older adults at increased risk for adverse drug events. The Beers Criteria outline medications inappropriate for use in older patients. We will use individual-visit data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (2006–2015), stratified by age group, to determine how often dermatologists prescribe these medications to older adults. The medical student will help perform descriptive weighted analyses.

Janis M. Taube, M.D., M.Sc.

Johns Hopkins University Characterizing Cell Type-Specific PD-1 and PD-L1 Expression in Melanoma

Therapeutic blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway generates durable melanoma remissions in a patient subset. PD-L1 expression on melanoma cells as detected by immunohistochemistry is only suggestive of outcome. To identify predictive patterns, we are using multiplex immunofluorescence to determine human cell types expressing PDL1/PD-1, expression levels, and cellular interactions. The medical student will contribute image analysis and statistically process data.

Johns Hopkins University

Masaoki Kawasumi, M.D., Ph.D.

University of Washington CRISPR-Cas9 Epigenome Editing to Inhibit Skin Cancer

The p16INK4A tumor suppressor gene is frequently inactivated in skin cancers, typically through methylation of its promoter rather than by deletion or mutation. Such epigenetic changes have the potential to be reversed—i.e., DNA demethylation, restoring gene expression. The medical student will participate in developing novel epigenome editing tools to induce DNA demethylation, to upregulate this tumor suppressor gene and inhibit skin cancer.

Thomas H. Leung, M.D., Ph.D.

University of Pennsylvania Understanding the Pathogenesis of Neutrophilic Dermatoses

While acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet’s syndrome) is clinically well-characterized, little is known about the underlying molecular and cellular programs. Using prospectively collected human tissue, the medical student will help to assess the clonality of infiltrating neutrophils to determine a neoplastic or reactive process, and perform transcriptome analysis of isolated neutrophils to identify altered gene pathways.

Eleni Linos, M.D., M.P.H., Dr.PH

University of California, San Francisco Skin Cancer Prevention in Sexual Minorities

Sexual minority men are a newly identified high-risk group for indoor tanning and potential skin cancer. Directing tanning bed-avoidance health messages to gay men by leveraging social networking sites provides unprecedented and targeted reach, and at relatively low cost. The medical student will help identify the most effective melanoma prevention messages for this group using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and online response data.

Clinical Symposia Profile

An update on DF’s annual CME meeting that convenes our specialty’s best— to ensure our brightest future.

Each year, the Dermatology Foundation is proud to offer the Clinical Symposia, one of the specialty’s most highly-regarded professional educational conferences. Provocative presentations and engaging break-out sessions convey the latest and most relevant research findings, demonstrate how we can put them into practice, and bring physicians and researchers into dialogue in a uniquely intimate conference setting.

Held in January in Naples, FL., the 2018 program drew nearly 400 physicians who came ready to learn and interact with some of the specialty’s leading experts. Over three days, the Symposia’s 13 distinguished faculty experts—six of whom are prior DF award recipients—explored topics ranging from dermatologic surgery and emerging diseases to health policy, patient interactions, and practice satisfaction.

The Yale School of Medicine accredited the Clinical Symposia for 17.5 AMA PPR Category 1 Credits™. The DF extends its thanks and praise to Program Co-Chairs Janet A. Fairley, M.D. and Jack S. Resneck, Jr., M.D. and the distinguished faculty members who are responsible for the success of this year’s exciting set of talks. The DF also gratefully acknowledges the corporate donors who make this important event possible.

Truly the best derm meeting I have ever been to.
