6^th World Congress for Hair Research

Held every 3 years the World Congress of Hair Research is the premier event on the international hair research calendar. Since the inaugural Tricontinental meeting in Brussels in 1995, the scope, size and quality of the meetings has increased as new member societies have joined.

In 2010, the meeting will be hosted by the Australasian Hair and Wool Research Society with participation from The North American Hair Research Society, the Japanese Hair Research Society, The European Society for Hair Research, and the Korean Society for Hair Research and participants from all sectors of the globe. This event will be a major World Congress.

The 6^th World Congress of Hair Research will bring together hair biologists, wool scientists, dermatologists and hair transplantation surgeons in their common pursuit of a deeper understanding of the science of hair growth in health and disease. Outcomes will improve our facilities to treat patients with hair and scalp disease. This exchange of ideas will have a major impact on future strategies for defining new directions in research and clinical care.

Basic science and clinical topics will be showcased in the form of workshops, plenary lectures, satellite sessions and poster presentations.

Sessions will be devoted to:

• Morphogenesis, Neogenesis and Tissue Engineering
• Immunbiology, Alopecia Areata
• Structure, Biology and Hair Curl, Colour and Lustre
• Stem Cells, Stem Cell Niches and Cicatrical Alopecia
• Hormones, Hair Growth and Pattern Hair Loss
• Comparative Biology and Transgenic Models
• Emerging Technologies and Therapies
• Genetics and Genodermatoses
