SID 2026 lunch symposium: Understanding Hidradenitis Suppurativa with 3D imaging and AI
Alpenglow Biosciences will host a SID 2026 lunch symposium titled Understanding Hidradenitis Suppurativa Using Novel Technologies and Artificial Intelligence, featuring Amanda Nelson, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Dermatology at Penn State College of Medicine.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a complex inflammatory skin disease, and understanding its biology requires more than a partial view of the tissue. This session will explore how emerging technologies, including 3D tissue imaging and AI-powered analysis, can help reveal tissue architecture, inflammatory organization, and disease mechanisms with greater spatial context.
Dr. Nelson and her research team bring more than 20 years of experience investigating sebaceous glands in acne, hair follicle and skin stem cells, skin regeneration, wound healing, and innate immune signaling in skin, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts. Her team takes a “Bed to Bench to Bedside” approach, working with patients, clinicians, bioinformaticians, and industry partners to better understand the mechanisms of inflammatory disease in acne vulgaris and hidradenitis suppurativa.
