My research project
Quantifying the impact of epidermal turnover on bioavailability of dermally absorbed chemicalsThis project aims to develop a method, combining computational modelling and in vitro dermal absorption tests further empowered by advanced stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, to deliver improved understanding of the impact of epidermal turnover on bioavailability of dermally absorbed chemicals. The new method and new data will support improved and more realistic risk assessment and regulation of dermal absorption of agrochemicals.
