Pathways to Skin Penetration

 
  November 02, 2011  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
5-6 March 2012


Who Should Attend
This overview is intended for individuals who are interested in expanding their knowledge and understanding of recent findings about the skin as a barrier, possible ways of interaction between the skin and applied compounds and patterns, and pathways for penetration into and through the skin. Attendees may hold a function in the following areas:

  • Skin Research and Development
  • Formulation Chemistry
  • Toxicology and Regulatory Affairs
  • Technical Sales and Marketing
  • Design and Development of topically applied formulations

Description
This two-day course is tailored for individuals who want to gain better understanding in the detailed structure of the skin and the correlation between structure and penetration.

Participants will be introduced to the biochemistry of the upper layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, and the different theories about pathways of penetration through it.

The course will provide tools for understanding the limitations in penetration and will suggest possible ways to overcome the skin barrier. It will discuss testing models as well as considerations to be taken such as skin age and condition.

 
 
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 co-author more than 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.
