Keynote Address

Elaine Fuchs, Ph.D.

Dr. Elaine Fuchs is Rebecca C. Lancefield Professor and Head of the
Laboratory of Mammalian Cell Biology and Development at Rockefeller University and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Her laboratory uses cell biology and genetics to understand stem cells, normal development and diesase states in skin. She has been cited for innovative reverse genetics approaches across a range of targets and experimental platforms. Her work has offered powerful insights into dermatology, cancer and stem cell biology.
