ABOUT SKIN RESEARCH CLUB

What is JSRC?

Japan Skin Research Club (JSRC) is a research community established to provide a forum where basic, clinical, and industry researchers who study skin biology can interact more closely with each other. The JSRC also serves as a platform for sharing research techniques and resources as well as a foundation for new collaborative research opportunities through interactions among researchers. The annual meeting has been held annually since 2013 and has already generated many collaborations and networking opportunities!

 

Skin research we are interested in is not limited to mammals. Presentations have been made on the skin of fish, reptiles, birds, and other species, aiming to understand skin from a variety of perspectives. The academic fields covered include medicine, molecular and cellular biology, developmental biology, evolution, biochemistry, tissue anatomy, mathematical modeling, and many more. By bringing together such a diverse group of researchers, we hope to provide a community that triggers interdisciplinary research and discussion.

 

Please think of the annual meeting as more like a large lab meeting than an academic conference. Presentations do not necessarily have to be complete; preliminary data, project ideas, and discussion of the interpretation of experimental data are all perfectly acceptable. We hope you will feel free to participate and give a talk.

 

For the sake of free and active discussion, we ask that you keep to the confidential agreement that unpublished data and information obtained at the skin meeting will not be opened outside the meeting.

 

Number of members of the JSRC: 105 (as of FY2022)
