(Boots CTP) Development of Next Generation Peptide Location Fingerprinting for Enhanced Characterisation of Skin Ageing and Repair.

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

In skin, long-lived extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the dermis, and at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) basement membrane, undergo a form of ageing where damage is gradually accumulated to their protein structures by mechanisms such as photo-oxidation (by ultraviolet radiation from the sun) and protease cleavage, leading to profound changes in tissue architecture and function.

(Boots CTP) Characterising and modulating the circadian biology of sebocytes to promote healthy skin barrier function

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Human skin provides a critical barrier to protect us against environmental insults and help us prevent excessive water loss. This barrier function is understood to be under rhythmic control between night and day and is maintained by a layer of lipids secreted on to the surface of the skin. Read more

Boots CTP: Elucidating epigenetic programs governing stress induced senescence (SISP) in melanocytes across ethnic groups

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

Skin ageing is induced by intrinsic (replicative stress due to ageing) and extrinsic pathways e.g., exposure to environmental insults including UV radiation and oxidative stress1. Read more

Understanding the sensory perception of topically applied products

University of Nottingham School of Biosciences

The cosmetics industry relies on consumer’s evaluation of their products to understand if they are desirable. However, little research exists systematically exploring relationships between sensory perception of tactile properties, consumer liking, emotional response and physical rheology. Read more
