Austin, TX — The Science of Skin Summit has become something of a fixture for dermatology and skin science professionals, and this September, the event returns to the Fairmont Hotel in Austin, Texas, running September 17–20, 2026.
Biopharma Informatic will be on the ground at this year's Summit, connecting with dermatologists, researchers and industry leaders as part of its continued work across dermatology clinical research.
Now in its sixth year, the Science of Skin Summit brings together dermatologists, skincare professionals, healthcare providers and industry leaders for several days of education centered on dermatology, skincare and emerging developments in skin science. The Summit is known for blending clinical insight with practical, real-world application, making it a valuable space for professionals across the dermatology and research spectrum.
A highlight of this year's program is the Resident Poster Competition, where residents and young researchers will present original studies, case reports and translational work. It's a snapshot of where dermatological research is heading, driven by the next generation of clinicians and scientists. Biopharma Informatic pays close attention to this kind of research, since it often shapes the studies investigators take on later.
For us, participation in the Summit is a way to stay close to developments that could shape dermatology clinical research going forward. We work with investigators and research sites conducting studies across a range of therapeutic areas, connecting sites, investigators, sponsors, and CROs at every stage of a study, from initial planning through study closeout.
Being at events like the Science of Skin Summit also gives us a chance to learn directly from dermatologists and researchers, and to build relationships across the field. These conversations often point to where research priorities are shifting, and to the practical realities of running a study well.
Shuja Naqvi, CEO of Biopharma Informatic, said dermatology is one of the more visible areas of clinical research right now, with a lot of interest from both patients and industry.
"We want our network to reflect that momentum, and being at the Summit is part of how we do that."

The Summit is one of several ways we stay engaged with the dermatology and research community. As our investigator network continues to grow, events like this remain a priority, offering a chance to build relationships that could shape future collaborations with sponsors, CROs, and research sites. Through this network, we help connect qualified investigators and sites to dermatology clinical trials, supporting studies that move new treatments closer to patients.
Biopharma Informatic is a clinical research investigator network connecting sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), and research sites to advance clinical trials across a range of therapeutic areas. Allison Brown and Ana Velazquez will be at this year's Summit, and if you're around and want to talk, whether it's about a trial, a partnership, or just what you're seeing in the field, they'd love to connect.
