All members of our community can play an important role in ensuring that we have a pipeline of impactful products for our field. Dermatology research centers, clinician and scientist entrepreneurs, investors, corporate partners, and many others each bring with them complementary talents and resources. For example, these can be clinical insights to identify unmet patient needs, the scientific and technical skills to discover and evaluate potential new treatments, and the ability to fund, coordinate, and communicate the effort. A continued flow of product innovation can help ensure that dermatology remains a vibrant field in healthcare that will continually have better solutions to address the dermatological needs of its patients.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the sponsors of the 2019 Dermatology Summit.
