Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin Meeting Proceedings
The annual MONTAGNA SYMPOSIUM ON THE BIOLOGY OF SKIN was initiated at Brown University in 1950 by Dr. William Montagna. The symposia grew from a need for basic scientists studying the skin in man and animals to communicate with clinically trained scientists in investigative dermatology. Since then, over 5,000 scientists, physicians, and students from throughout the world have attended the symposia, which each year address a single major topic in cutaneous biology. The proceedings are documented each year through the publication of articles arising from the symposium.
