July 24, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (EST–New York time)
Who Should Attend
Professional individuals who work in the following areas will benefit from this online training:- Topically applied product development in Pharmaceutics, Cosmetics and Personal care
- Dermatology community and related industries
- Professionals in hospitals that work on topical chemicals exposure
- Professionals in regulatory institutions that work on dermal exposure
Description
Emerging research on inflammation in general and in the skin in particular links it to premature aging and aging associated diseases such as cancer and xerosis. When the skin is inflamed its barrier function is compromised. It is red, swollen, warm and painful. The pharmaceutical and personal care industries are investing in finding better ways to prevent and address skin inflammation. The objective of this 90-minuteaccredited online course is to identify the current knowledge on this topic and point at possible available resolution and testing options.
