Speakers:
- Secondee - Dr Denise Li, Postdoctoral Research Associate in Soft Matter Physics, Institute for Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems, University of Edinburgh

Summary:
This multidisciplinary project sought to understand the effects of environmental skin damage from different cleansing agents. Clinicians and physicists came together with industry expertise to seek the use of physical characterisation of the skin before and after damage. Successful characterisation of the skin would then lead to understanding the interaction mechanisms between the cleansing agent and the skin which the team can then translate the learnings to clinical relevance. The objective of this project was to bring a multidisciplinary team together to study the fundamental effects of skin damage due to cleansing agents by physical characterisation and how we can translate the findings into clinical relevance to reduce the number of cases of dermatitis. This would be a significant societal benefit across the world.
