Course Description
This course will be available On Demand: May 22, 2015

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, epidermal structure and function, major cells and components. The second class will describe the mechanisms of the control of gene expression, the structure of some relevant genes, meaning of expression, definition and role of cytokines, enzymes and receptors. The third class will explain the role of free enzymes and small molecules in the stratum corneum, how they can be of importance for cosmetic products and for moisturization, and the possible definitions of skin types and conditions.

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.

Maximize learning and minimize expense: Register for all 3 parts and save $150 OR take any one as a stand-alone course.

Part 1 Course Description: This session will describe the epidermis, its structure, function and cell population. It will also illustrate two of the major functions in the skin; the acquired immunity and the melanogenesis.
