Types of Events

We sponsor 7-10 monthly lectures over the year, including several from distinguished scientists in skin biology/disease from outside UC Irvine. These lectures are coordinated with the Department of Dermatology Grand Rounds to enable these speakers to additionally present a lecture to the more clinically-oriented Dermatology Faculty. This program brings in leading skin biologists for the benefit of the Center research community and the skin disease community at UC Irvine.

2025-2026 Distinguished Speakers Series

 

As a major visible program throughout campus, we continue the day-long Annual Symposium on Skin Biology and Disease. This annual event started with a symposium supported by the Stem Cell Center, on Clinical Translation of Stem Cell Approaches to Skin Biology and Disease in 2015. In 2017, through additional support from the Department of Dermatology and corporate sponsors, we were able to continue with the yearly Skin Symposium. The symposium is attended by 100-150 people from all areas of Southern California, from Los Angeles to San Diego. The next symposium will be held on February 13, 2026, with the following speakers. 

 

Past Events

Past Annual UCI Skin Symposiums

The past UCI Skin symposiums drew speakers (and virtual attendees) from around the world to showcase the most current developments in skin research.  This all-day event provides a platform for experts to exchange groundbreaking insights and discoveries in the study of skin.  It fosters international collaboration and keeps professionals at the forefront of skin-related advancements.

UCI Skin Club

The UCI Skin club is an ongoing weekly meeting where Center laboratories meet to learn about new findings in other laboratories and to exchange scientific ideas; this activity was started in 2015. In every meeting, a member of a group presents their work followed by discussion. In some cases, we invite other scientists with findings relevant to the work of the Center to present their work in this forum. With the institution of the P30 Center, we now have representatives from each Core in these meetings which will enhance our abilities to implement multidisciplinary approaches to the skin biology work. This meeting, held at the end of day, closes with a social hour where trainees and laboratory personnel have a chance to intermingle in a relaxed environment. As trainees from all Center member laboratories present in skin club, this venue is highly suited for the Center directors to exert leadership by recognizing opportunities to engineer collaborations with genomics and other fields, and integration through systems biology.

At the University of California, Irvine, providing a culture of inclusion and equal opportunity for people with disabilities is a campuswide responsibility and commitment.  If you have difficulty accessing any materials on this site, please email us at SCRCdirector@hs.uci.edu.
