CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
June 18, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
Professionals in the Pharmaceutical and Personal care industry who work with topically applied formulations and especially in the areas of:
• Formulations that contain particles such as sun screens,
suspensions, color cosmetics and others
• Research and development
• Clinical study design
• Safety assessment in vivo and in vitro
• Regulatory bodies and professionals Description
This course will be available On Demand: June 27, 2012
Engineered nanoparticles are at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of nanomedicine, especially in the fields of cancer therapy and immune-modulation. Their unique size-dependent properties, makes them suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications such as cell labeling and targeting, tissue engineering, drug delivery, drug targeting and alike. When used in sunscreens, the small size serves both practically to better absorb UV and esthetically by not leaving a white residue on the skin. This premise however may play as a double edge sword since the same properties that make nano-particles potent may pose challenges to the body’s immunity.
The discussion about the safety of engineered nanoparticles has become quite polarized, with activist groups emphasizing the potential risks and the cosmetics and medical industry claiming that that the concern is exaggerated. The existing literature on the ability of nanoparticulate material to penetrate skin is inconclusive.
This 90 minute accredited training will review the properties of nanoparticles, potential pathways for penetration and recent published data on their interaction with the skin.

Nava Dayan, Ph.D.; Skin Care Research Expert
Dr. Nava 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. 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. Dr. Dayan teaches at Rutgers University and is the Director of a variety of courses at the Center for Professional Advancement.
