Anne Bowcock, PhD is the Norman Orentreich, MD Professor of Dermatology Research and Professor of Oncological Sciences and Genetics & Genome Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York, USA. She obtained her PhD from the University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa) and performed postdoctoral studies at Stanford University. She has held faculty positions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Washington University in Saint Louis and at Imperial College (London, UK) before moving to New York in 2017. Her research interests are understanding the genetic basis of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and the genetic basis of rare cancers such as acral and uveal melanoma. She has been a pioneer in the genetic and genomic analyses of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, which she has studied for over 30 years, with the long-term goal of identifying novel ways of combatting their effects. Together with Dr. Allen Menter she founded the National Psoriasis Tissue Bank in 1993. Her group was one of the first to perform global genomic analyses of psoriatic skin, examining the altered global transcriptome (long and short RNAs) and the psoriasis epigenome. She performed some of the first psoriasis GWAS and has pioneered the study of rare predisposing variants in psoriasis. Her laboratory identified CARD14 as a gene mutated in rare Mendelian forms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This has provided important insights into both adult and pediatric forms of the disease. She has continued to examine the altered CARD14 signalsome and novel ways of combatting its effects, including targeted protein degradation with PROTAC. She has over 255 publications with over 36,000 citations and is co-inventor on two patents. She is active in the human genetics community, has served on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Human Genetics and is currently an Executive Board Member of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO). She was the recipient of a Psoriasis Research Achievement Award from the American Skin Association in 2005 and has been an International Psoriasis Councilor (IPC) since 2016.<\/p>\n
The Eugene M. Farber endowment was established by his family in memory of Dr. Farber\u2019s scientific career and devotion to understanding the pathogenesis of psoriasis.\u00a0 In 2007, the SID Board of Directors voted to create the Eugene M. Farber endowed lecture.\u00a0 It is typically presented at the SID\u2019s Annual Meeting (and Virtual ones) by an investigator whose work is relevant to expanding insights into the pathophysiology and treatment of psoriasis.<\/p>\n
