Overcoming the skin barrier
Wednesday 31st of May, 2023 at 14.30
The number of people suffering from skin disorders, such as atopic dermatitis, is continuously increasing, resulting in increased healthcare costs and significant decrease in the patient’s quality of life. However, despite much research within the area, overcoming the skin barrier is still highly challenging. Recently, novel promising delivery strategies has been developed, together with a more detailed understanding of the skin immune system.
This seminar brings together leading experts within dermatology, providing an overview of the skin barrier as seen from a clinical perspective, when developing cutaneous formulations, immunological aspects and finally a case study on non-invasive extraction of biomarkers from the skin.
