Letter to Attendees

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Program Committee, we invite your contribution to the 16th Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the Wound Healing Society, which promises to be a stimulating opportunity to learn and to share the latest advances in basic and clinical wound healing.

The program will include two pre-meeting educational events, a workshop on “Getting Your Product Reimbursed” and a symposium on “Basic Principles of Wound Healing for 2006”. We are pleased to announce that the 2006 program will begin with a Keynote Speaker from the Translational Genomics Research Institute. Additional plenary program speakers will share their expertise in wound healing topics including Burns, Aging, Molecular Biology Tools in the Clinic, New Bioengineering Technologies and Angiogenesis. There will also be a report from the Wound Care Standards Consensus Panels, chaired by Dr. Adrian Barbul, our President-elect. Back by popular demand from last year will be a hands-on session that includes some of the latest clinical wound care products and devices and a few novel wound healing research tools. Other session topics will be determined by your submitted abstracts, which will be slated for both poster and podium presentations. The Young Investigator Award will recognize the efforts of our junior investigators, while the Blue Ribbon Poster Award will recognize the most outstanding contributions from our industrial colleagues.

Overall, the 16th Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the Wound Healing Society will be a tremendous learning opportunity and a means to advance our understanding of mechanisms and effective therapies for this very challenging area of biomedical science. It will also be an opportunity to focus on the role of WHS in professional education, which is a top agenda item for the term of our President Dr. Jeffrey Davidson.

Please take advantage of the on-line submission process to be sure that your abstract is made available to us well ahead of the November 21st deadline. This will assure that the selection and organization of submitted papers is completed in a timely manner for publication in Wound Repair and Regeneration.

We look forward to joining you in Scottsdale, Arizona for an exciting and rewarding 16th Annual Meeting and Exhibition!

Co-chairs:
Allen Holloway, MD
Pat Hebda, PhD
