CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
March 14, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for professionals in the cosmetic and personal care industry, pharmaceutical skin care and skin care related medical devices. It will be especially valuable for:
• Professionals with background in Physics and Chemistry
who wish to strengthen their knowledge in biology
• Formulation chemists
• Marketing/ Sales/ Production/ QC/QA/ Regulatory Description
Maximize learning and minimize expense: Register for all 3 parts and save $150 OR take any one as a stand-alone course.
Series Description: This series of 3 online classes is aimed to provide key fundamental basic knowledge in skin biochemistry; “Skin Biology 101”. The first class will look into definition of key words, skin structure and function, major cells and components. The second class will described the structure of genes, meaning of expression, definition and role of cytokines, enzymes and receptors. The third class will explain the role of water in skin, its bonding to other molecules and the importance of proper moisturization.
This is a 3-part series. To receive the maximum benefit from this training, the course director recommends that participants attend all three sessions. However, each session may also be taken individually should one specific area of this Skin Biochemistry series match your training needs.
Part 3 Course Description: This session will inspect the location, organization and role of water in the skin. It will describe the water gradient and its importance. The main water compartmentalization entities in the living epidermis, the aquaporines, will be examined as well as recent research findings that are related. The last module will explain the role of moisture in the skin and will attempt to examine the need for a proper moisture balance.

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. A technology developed by Dr. Dayan is the recipient of the Gold Award for Innovation at the 2011 In Cosmetics European Show. 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.
