Edinburgh Skin Network Symposium 2024 The symposium will take place in-person on Tuesday 12th November 2024 at the John McIntyre Conference Centre and will be followed by a drinks reception. We invite all PhD students and post-doctoral researchers working in the field of skin research to submit a <300 word abstract and give a poster presentation or short talk on their research. Prizes are up for grabs for best poster and best short talk. Short talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts by the Ed-SKIN and SSBC steering committees.Itinerary 9.00-9:30 – WelcomeChairs: Prof Gareth Inman, Dr Michael Crichton9:30-10:00 – Dr Carole Torsney (CDDS, University of Edinburgh) - Postsurgical tactile-evoked pain: a skin-nerve rewiring10:00-10:30 – Dr Rose Ruiz-Daniels (Stirling University) - Wound atlas of the skin of Atlantic salmon10:30-10:40 – Dr Samantha Campbell (Glasgow University) – Exploring the transcriptomic evolution of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma from primary tumour to metastasis 10:40-10:50 – Jiayue Gu (CIR, University of Edinburgh) - Effects of solar simulated UVR on the human immune systemCOFFEE BREAK & POSTER SESSIONChairs: Dr Jenna Cash, Dr Catherine Wright11:20–11:50 – Dr Denis Headon (Roslin, University of Edinburgh) – The genetic basis for variation in human hair shape11:50–12:20 – Dr Michael Crichton (Heriot Watt University) – Developing technology for dermatology: digitising your senses12:20–12:30 – Dr Giovana Carrasco (IGC, University of Edinburgh) – Investigating UV-induced effects in Kindlin-1-deficient skin in mice12:30–12:40 – Edward Rees (Heriot Watt University) – Mechanically active wound dressings for accelerated wound healing and reduced scarringLUNCH BREAK & POSTER SESSIONChairs: Dr Catherine Wright, Prof Sara Brown13:30–14:00 – Dr Jenna Cash (CIR, University of Edinburgh) – Charting the path to skin ulcerationusing spatial biology14:00–14:30 – Prof Richard Weller (CIR, University of Edinburgh) - TBC14:30–14:40 – Dr Oliver Teenan – Advancing early detection in systemic sclerosis: Skin proteome characterisation and development of a diagnostic index (SCIDEX)14:40–14:50 – Dr Fiona Cunningham (CIR, University of Edinburgh) – Identifying novel signatures to strategy eczema patientsCOFFEE BREAKChairs: Dr Jenna Cash, Prof Richard Weller15.10–15:50 – Prof Sara Brown (IGC, University of Edinburgh) - TBC15:450–16:20 – Dr Catherine Wright (GCU) - Fibrosis delays wound healing in diabetes: the role of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins16:20–16:30 - Dr Luke Johnston (IGC, University of Edinburgh) – Comparative spatial transcriptomic analysis of inflammatory skin conditions identifies a potential therapeutic target for keratosis pilaris16.35-16:40 - Dr Catherine Wright – A very brief history of the SSBC on it’s 100th meeting16:40-16:50 – Closing and Awards17:00-18:30 - Drinks reception Nov 12 2024 09.00 - 18.30 Edinburgh Skin Network Symposium 2024 The 2nd Edinburgh Skin Network (Ed-SKIN) Symposium will be held jointly with the Scottish Skin Biology Club (SSBC) to celebrate their 100th meeting.
