abstract: At the 2013 annual meeting of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 26 dermatology and rheumatology fellows engaged in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis research were invited to present their work at the Trainees Symposium, which preceded the annual meeting and was also attended by GRAPPA members from around the world. Herein, we provide a brief overview of the 6 oral presentations and 25 posters presented, which reflect the focus and diversity of current basic and clinical research in psoriatic disease.
