TRI Princeton will present a 2-day course focusing on skin science, physiology, biophysics, and various measurement techniques used for skin assessment and product development. The event will take place Sept. 27 & 28, 2016.


Skin is a complex organ, so the development of effective products and treatments requires an understanding of skin physiology and biochemistry, along with intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect skin and its overall health. Upon completion of this course, participants will have a better knowledge of the current state of skin research, the science behind products and claims, and the measurements used to understand and investigate skin and treatment effects on the skin; thereby sparking new directions for future skin studies and product development.


The course will review:
 • Current research and understanding of skin physiology and functions
• Skin barrier function and its modifications
• Skin hydration and relation to skin well-being
• Skin damage and inflammation
• Skin protection and the use of products (such as sunscreens)
• Measurement techniques for objective assessments of skin and its function
• Skin claims and substantiation
• Skin variations over time, health, disorders, and treatment
• Non-invasive instrumental techniques for characterization of skin and the delivery and efficacy of topical products


Lecturers for the course will include: 
• 
Patricia Aikens, Independent Consultant 
• 
Samuel Gourion-Arsiquaud, TRI Princeton
• 
Nik Kollias, Independent Consultant 
• Bozena Michniak-Kohn, Rutgers University
• Mike Southall, Johnson & Johnson



Cost to attend this course is $850 if you register before June 15, 2016 and includes two full days of lectures and discussions, plus materials and breakfast/lunch during the course. Member and multiple registration discounts are available. More info: contact us
