CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
October 18, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for professional individuals who work in the following areas:
• Topically applied product development in Pharmaceutics,
Cosmetics and Personal Care
• Dermatology community and related industries
• Marketing and sales who are interested in a learning novel
method for claim substantiation
• Formulation chemists Description
The Human Genome Project (HGP), completed in 2003 was a 13-year project designed to identify all of the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, and determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA.
Knowledge of human gene sequences has significantly advanced our understanding of genetically related conditions and an individual’s susceptibility to specific diseases and is the basis for “personalized medicine.” However, gene sequences represent only a single piece of a more complex puzzle. Gene expression and the regulation of gene expression (i.e., which genes are turned on or off by specific conditions) plays a major role in the coordination of a biological response.
Over the past decade, there have been tremendous improvements in the technologies available to measure gene expression. Starting as highcost, technically challenging methods, analyses are now affordable, high-throughput and highly reproducible. Gene expression analyses, utilized in all areas of pharmaceutical discovery and development, are becoming routine tools in the cosmetics and personal care industry.
This 90-minute, accredited introductory course is tailored towards the use of gene expression studies and their utilization in the development of skin care products both in the Pharmaceutical and Personal Care industries. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.
