Dear Friends and Colleagues

The University Hospital of Zürich’s Department of Dermatology is pleased to host the 37th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Dermatological Research (ESDR) from September 5–8, 2007.

The Annual ESDR Meeting has become the premier congress in cutaneous biology. Outstanding guest lectures will focus on challenging topics in cutting edge molecular biology. Clinical Saturday will focus on lectures presenting state-of-the-art advances in various areas of Dermatology and summarise important clinical developments.

The ESDR continues its partnership with a range of specialised European societies, including the European Association of Dermatological Oncology (EADO), the European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN), European Immunodermatology Society (EIS), European Society of Dermatopathology (ESDP), Fondation René Touraine and the European Epidermal Barrier Research Network.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I cordially invite you to participate and look forward to welcoming you to the ‘little big city’ of Zürich. Besides an attractive scientific program, we will also provide an enjoyable social backdrop for relaxed and informal exchange between delegates.
