 Message from the Scientific Program Committee (1217 bytes)

THE HAIR RESEARCH SOCIETY (USA) looks forward to your participation in our first Four-Society meeting. The meeting we have planned provides ample time for presenting original research at poster and plenary sessions. We will have workshops focusing on interesting case histories, the hair cycle, new experimental models, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, and hair pigmentation. We will enjoy and be challenged by two keynote addresses given by authorities on topics central to hair biology. Besides the formal meeting, we have planned occasions to interact personally and to learn how the rest of the world thinks. Finally, as the meeting will be held in one of America's most beautiful cities, we hope this convocation will be rewarding on many levels.
