Abstract

The international vitiligo community had last December its first "vitiligo only" research meeting in the Eternal City. Vitiligo is a well-recognized but poorly addressed public health concern worldwide. The Vitiligo International Symposium (VIS) is a strong signal for the medical world of the coming of age of vitiligo as a major research field. Because of the gathering of the majority of world experts, the meeting was preceded by a clinical research methodology workshop held at the San Gallicano Institute. This report gives a combined account of the two parts. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
