We organized the first International Symposium on Skin Epigenetics at the Centre for Skin Sciences at the University of Bradford (West Yorkshire, UK) on 2nd and 3rd April 2012. The goal of the Symposium was to bring together two research communities—skin and chromatin biologists—and discuss the most important aspects of epigenetic regulatory mechanisms that control skin development and regeneration. The symposium was attended by more than 80 participants from countries across Europe, Australia, Japan, Singapore, and USA, and representing academic institutions and industry. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression programs in the skin is a novel trend in research in cutaneous biology, and several landmark papers arising in the field were published recently (reviewed in Botchkarev et al., 2012; Botchkareva, 2012; Frye and Benitah, 2012; Yi and Fuchs, 2012; Zhang et al., 2012). The Symposium program included six Keynote lectures, the inaugural John M. Wood Memorial Lecture, and six sessions that covered major levels of epigenetic regulation.Version
