Skin@Bath Conference

Thursday 10th & Friday 11th December 2026

The Guildhall, Bath UK

The purpose of Skin@Bath is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations for innovative projects in skin photoprotection as well as skin-related drug design, delivery, and therapy of chronic inflammatory skin disorders and skin cancer both at national and international levels.

We envision that networking through this symposium will attract unprecedented collaborations to apply for ground-breaking program grants and strategic global funding programs in partnership with the pharmaceutical industry to tackle the unmet needs of individuals/patients.  This will translate research into the development and delivery of innovative approaches and therapies for skin photoprotection and skin-related disorders, respectively.
