Dear friends and colleagues,

As the most anticipated event in the field of basic and translational dermatology research, the 5th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society for Investigative Dermatology (CSID) will see you again during September 11~13, 2020 in Xi'an, China.

CSID 2019 meeting in Changsha last year brought participants new experience by presenting the whole meeting in English, encompassing progress reports from nearly all main research groups in China and lectures from numerous world top laboratories in dermatology and related fields, as well as exhibition of outstanding publications in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology by Chinese researchers. Additionally it inspired the young generation by election of Annual Best Graduate Students in Dermatology and Rising Star Lectures. This year, we are trying to involve more people, present more work and invite more important figures from international peer associations and journals.

With our efforts, we believe that CSID Annual Meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for you to learn and link with yours peers in home and abroad. And we are confident that this event will greatly promote the progress of our basic and translational research in dermatology and skin health.

Xi'an is one of the most beautiful and historical city in west China. Historically known as Chang'an, Xi'an was the traditional capital city of 13 dynasties. Also, Xi'an is known as the eastern terminus of the Silk Road as well as the hometown of Terracotta Warriors during the Qin Dynasty.

We are confident you will have amazing experience in Xi'an during the 5th CSID meeting.

We look forward to meeting you in Xi'an.
