P&G Honors University of Cincinnati Professor for Ex Vivo Moisturizing Assessment

Procter & Gamble has honored Ana Luisa Kadekaro PhD, a professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, with a P&G Connect and Develop (C+D) Best Partner Award for her “groundbreaking” work crafting a resilient and dependable ex vivo moisturizing assessment.

“Professor Ana Kadekaro developed a robust and reliable ex vivo moisturizing assessment, a solid pre-screening tool for new technologies at Procter & Gamble,” said Anneke Kaminski, P&G Research and Development senior director of Connect + Develop Americas, in a news post shared by the college.  “We appreciate her deep expertise, dedication and collaboration, which led to this outcome.”

“This (new) model represents a useful tool for pre-screening novel formulations with the advantage of generating data that would not be possible in studies performed in human subjects. I am absolutely thrilled that our partners at P&G recognized the value of this skin explant model for the development of novel products,” Kadekaro said.
