Research Stay at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, USA

Grantee: Beatrice Dyring-Andersen

Amount: DKK 1,157,196

Grant category: Research Networking

Year: 2023

Geography: Denmark

The main purpose of the research stay is to gain hands-on experience on two state-of-the-art technologies, namely spatial transcriptomics, which enables the investigation of gene expression across a tissue and CRISPR technology, which is an advanced method to edit genes within cells to investigate the function of specific genes in health and disease or to modulate cell functionality. These technical skills will be developed as part of two primary research projects to be conducted during the research stay.

Grant category: Research Networking

Year: 2023

Geography: USA

The Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin conference theme is “An Intelligent and Personalized Skin Barrier: Integration and Translation of Cell and Molecular Biology, Bioengineering and Physical Chemistry”. Keynote sessions include presentations on topics such as “Inflammation in Barrier Function and Dysfunction”, “Big Data to Knowledge: Models, Diagnostics and Therapies” and “The “Next Big Question on the Skin Barrier”. 

The Gordon Research Conferences are renowned for their excellent scientific programs and are unique in that each conferee agrees that any information presented at a Gordon Research Conference or Gordon Research Seminar, whether in a formal talk, poster session, or discussion, is a private communication from the individual making the contribution and is presented with the restriction that such information is not for public use. 

Montagna Symposia on the Biology of Skin

Grantee: Oregon Health and Science University, Department of Dermatology

Amount: DKK 181,468

Grant category: Research Networking

Year: 2023

Geography: USA

The Montagna Symposia on the Biology of Skin are a very well-established conference, similar to a Gorden Conference, bridging the gap between basic research and dermatology. The meeting brings together scientists and physicians from academics to industry to foster interdisciplinary communication and collaboration in basic, translational and clinical research and practice, facilitating development of new collaborations, research and therapies for cancer, inflammatory diseases and other skin conditions. It provides a venue for the participation of high-profile, established speakers and up-and-coming stars in skin disease research and dermatology practice from around the world. The meeting facilitates the coming together of established researchers and clinicians with residents, fellows, and students; and representatives from government, foundations, and industry in a variety of fields and specialties, fostering the cross-pollination of ideas that is at the heart of breakthroughs in translational dermatology.
