Eczema and Psoriasis: Biochemistry and Treatment

 
  May 05, 2011  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
September 7, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend
This online training is intended for professionals in the pharmaceuticals, cosmetic and personal care or related industries. It will be especially worthwhile for 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
Both the pharmaceutical and personal care industry are constantly challenged with developing products to address symptoms associated with chronic skin inflammatory disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. A vast effort is put into understanding the biochemical paths for these disorders as well as the differences between a healthy and diseased skin. While the population diagnosed in Western countries is on the rise for at least two decades, no cure is found.

This 90 minute accredited training course will describe the biochemistry of these disorders, differences when compared to healthy skin and possible approaches for treatment. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.

Review of Learning Objectives
Module 1:

  • Skin inflammatory disorders- an overview
  • Psoriasis: biochemistry and population
  • Eczema: biochemistry and population

Module 2:
  • Differences between diseased and healthy skin:
    – Penetration
    – Sensitivity
    – Active lesions vs. non active lesions

Module 3:
  • Current treatment
  • In the pipeline- actives and delivery systems

Question and Answer Session

 
 
Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
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. 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 and the Center for Dermal Research at the Center for Biomaterials. Dr. Dayan teaches at Rutgers University and is the Director of a variety of courses at the Center for Professional Advancement.
