It
is a great pleasure to invite you to join us for the "1st
International Conference on Dermatotoxicology", October 22nd
– 25th, 2008. During the last years, the
significance of the immune system and xenobiotic metabolism for
the pathogenesis of skin diseases has become obvious. Examples
for such disorders are skin tumors, atopic diseases, psoriasis,
atopic dermatitis as well as extrinsic skin aging. Therefore,
there is an increasing need for interdisciplinary translational
research connecting the fields of dermatology, environmental
research and toxicology. This meeting is aiming to provide a
platform for translational exchange within these disciplines.
We have invited the leading
scientists in the areas of experimental dermatology,
dermatotoxicology and dermatoimmunology to exchange the newest
findings, discover new target structures and discuss
novel therapeutic or preventive strategies for
extrinsically-induced skin pathologies.
The main topics of the meeting include:
-
Cutaneous CYP
and drug transporters
-
AhR
signalling in skin
-
Drug induced
allergic and autoimmune reactions
-
Contact
dermatitis
-
Alternative
methods in dermatotoxicology
-
Photoprotection
-
Risk of
nanomaterials to skin
-
Chemoprevention
of skin cancer
Plenary lectures will be held on the subjects:
-
Role of TLR in interactions between skin and environment
-
Skin carcinogenesis
-
Transgenes in xenobiotica metabolism research
-
Chrono-Biology of the skin
-
Alternatives in cutaneous immunotoxicology
-
Fishing for hidden contact allergens
