Skin Aging and Gene Expression

 
  February 15, 2011  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
March 15, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
Professionals in the cosmetic and personal care or related industries that work and specialize in the following disciplines, as well as groups or companies that provide services in skin care in the following fields:

  • Research and Development 
  • Marketing and Claim Substantiation
  • Product Development 
  • Formulations Development

Description
In the past few years there had been a trend to test the effects of different ingredients applied to skin on the expression of genes and to correlate it to improvement or retardation in skin aging. In addition, there have been some attempts to identify the optional harmful effect of these chemicals.

This 90-minute accredited online session is aimed to better understand the deliverables of gene expression studies, to translate them into meaningful findings and to review the latest research findings in the area. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.

Module 1:
  • Review of Learning Objectives
  • Introduction to basics of the human genome
  • Notes on the evolution and maturation of skin
  • What is between genotype and expression?
  • What controls genes expression?

Module 2:
  • Gene expression and aging
  • Gene expression and photo-damage

Module 3:
  • Key gene families that affect skin aging at its different 
    layers:
  • Stratum corneum
  • Live epidermis
  • Dermis

Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers:
Nava Dayan, Ph.D.; Skin Care Research Expert

Dr. Nava Dayan earned her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem specializing in skin delivery. She is currently an Associate Adjunct Professor in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University, and the R&D Director at Lipo Chemicals Inc. During her 23 years of experience she has specialized in a variety of areas related to skin treatment:

  • The research and understanding of the interaction between topically applied compounds and
    the skin
  • Findings in skin biochemistry and especially the upper layer of the skin- the stratum 
    corneum
  • Delivery of active compounds into and through the skin and the development of delivery 
    systems to facilitate transport, improve bio-availability and reduce toxicity
  • Design and development of topically applied formulations
  • Design of clinical studies to substantiate market claims and to assure safety
  • Academic teaching and lecturing
  • Industrial experience in both development of active compounds, delivery systems and 
    finished formulations
  • Skin absorption studies in vivo and in vitro for safety/ efficacy assessment
  • In vitro methodologies for safety assessment of topically applied compounds

Dr. Dayan has received numerous awards of excellence for various papers she has authored. She is the author and coauthor of more than 100 publications including book chapters and was granted 7 patents. She is also the editor of the “Skin Aging Hand Book” published by Elsevier. Dr. Dayan is a member of the Dermatopharmaceutics Focus Group, and the Abstract Review Committee for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS). She is serves as the Educational Chair of the NYSCC Chapter and on the Scientific Advisory Board of Health Beauty America Expo. Dr. Dayan teaches at Rutgers University and is the Director of a variety of courses at the Center for Professional Advancement.
