The Fifth International Congress of Hair Research will be held in Vancouver (Canada) in June 2007. The purpose of this conference is to bridge the basic scientist and clinician in their pursuit to help patients with hair diseases. This exchange of ideas usually has a major impact on the field of trichologic medicine and helps determine directions of research. It stimulates interactions and development in the field. Basic science and clinical topics will be showcased in the form of workshops, plenary lectures, satellite sessions and poster presentations. Basic science topics such as: gene delivery, folliculoneogenesis, hair pigmentation cycling, stem cells, immunobiology, keratins and senescence will be covered. In addition, clinical topics such as pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, cicatricial alopecia, and hormonal regulation of the hair follicle will be a major focus. Practical topics such as laser hair removal and hair restoration will also be presented.
