The first Gordon Research Seminar on Barrier Function of Mammalian Skin is a new and special forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with similar interests to present and exchange cutting edge ideas. 

The topics of this seminar will span all facets of fundamental and applied science as related to barrier function of skin. This includes barrier structure, function and disease, skin biomechanics, new approaches to overcome the skin barrier and technologies in investigating drug absorption. 

This seminar provides opportunities for young investigators to pitch their work, communicate with other young pioneers and gain confidence for the following GRC conference. Furthermore, the seminar strives to provide attendees career development opportunities by including a panel session that mentors will provide key insights and advice.
