Program
 
It is a great honor and privilege to invite you to the Post IID 2008 Satellite 5th Joint Meeting of SSSR* (Society for Skin Structure Research) and SCUR (Society for Cutaneous Ultrastructure Research), which will be held at the Otsu Prince Hotel, Otsu, Shiga, Japan, from 17th to 19th May, 2008. This meeting will be held in association with the Post IID 2008 Satellite International Meeting on Autoimmune Bullous Diseases at the Otsu Prince Hotel. Otsu Prince Hotel is located in a beautiful waterfront location adjacent to Lake Biwa, and is only 20 minutes by commuter train from Kyoto station. Charter buses will be prepared from the Kyoto International Conference Center to the Otsu Prince Hotel after the 2008 IID meeting finishes.

The aim of this meeting is to exchange and discuss topics concerning structural investigations, including ultrastructure, light-microscopy, dermatoscopy and other matters related to basic skin biology and diseases. The scientific program committee under the direction of Dr. Akiyama (Hokkaido Univ., Sapporo, Japan) in collaboration with Dr. Ishida-Yamamoto (Asahikawa Med. College, Asahikawa, Japan) will prepare an exciting and inspiring program, including free communications.

On behalf of the organizing committee, I wish to extend to you an invitation to stay two more nights in the Kyoto area after the 2008 IID meeting, and enjoy more delicious Japanese food and sightseeing in the mountains as well as fulfilling your scientific interests.

*The SSSR (Society for Skin Structure Research), originally established in 1974, has a 33-year history. The SSSR was previously called the JSUCB (Japanese Society for
Ultrastructural Cutaneous Biology). In 2006, we changed the name of the society from JSUCB to SSSR. The main purpose of the SSSR is to promote any skin research that
involves a certain degree of morphological investigation, including clinical, dermatopathological, and immunohistochemical work, ranging from dermoscopy, light and electron microscopy to other morphological techniques.
