Skin Aging and Inflammation

 
  April 26, 2011  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, New Brunswick, NJ
September 22, 2011


Who Should Attend
This course is especially valuable for professional individuals who work in the following areas:

  • 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
It is hypothesized that throughout our life span our skin is exposed to a continuous environmental and endogenous insult that results in sub chronic inflammation. This inflammation is activating the immune system and through different mechanisms accelerates aging. This intensive, oneday course is designed to go through the major changes occurring in the different layers of the skin when it ages, the types of skin inflammatory reactions and the possible link between the two.

Invited Speakers: Nava Dayan, Ph.D.; Skin Care Research Expert

Dr. 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 Research and Development and Safety Assessment Director at Lipo Chemicals Inc. During her 24 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 more then 150 publications including book chapters and was granted 8 patents. She is also the editor of the “Skin Aging Hand Book” published by Elsevier; “Innate Immunity of Skin and Oral Mucosa” Book co-edited with Prof. Philip Wertz, “Formulating Skin Care with Natural Products” Book co-edited with Dr. Lambros Kromidas; both published by Wiley and sons.
