discussions, the Board approved the opening of an SID satellite
office in Washington DC. On January 15 SID opened
its new quarters at 1828 L St. NW.

administrative staff will remain in Cleveland, Ohio. In the
meantime SID has begun discussions with the AADA about how the
two organizations can open a joint DC office in 2009.

About the SID
Founded in 1937, the Society for Investigative Dermatology is a
professional membership organization serving scientists and
physicians working in academic settings, researchers in government
and industry, practicing dermatologists, residents and fellows, and
members of the lay community interested in skin research. The SID
has a worldwide membership of 1700 and publishes The Journal of
Investigative Dermatology (JID)—the premier journal dedicated to
research in cutaneous biology.
The SID’s mission is to advance and promote the sciences relevant to
skin health and disease through education, advocacy and scholarly
exchange of scientific information.
Working under this mission, the SID is committed to fostering
scientific careers for young researchers, increasing public and
government awareness about the need to support skin research,
working with industry in the development of new technologies and
cooperative ventures, and encouraging scientific collaborations
among researchers worldwide.
