Kambiz Shekdar Co-founder of Chromocell Corporation to contribute on Nose Structure and Function for Harry's 9th Edition

Kambiz Shekdar, Ph.D.

Cheif Scientific Officer

Chromocell Corporation

Kambiz co-founded Chromocell in 2002. In his role, he guides the scientific leadership of the company, and helps to determine the overall business strategy and direction of Chromocell.

Previously, Kambiz was a Graduate Fellow in the lab of Professor and Nobel Laureate Gunter Blobel at The Rockefeller University in New York City where he obtained his Ph.D. in 2003.

It was during his studies at Rockefeller where Kambiz invented the Chromovert® technology together with Prof. Blobel. With this proprietary technology, he combines his passion for science and his inquisitive nature for any and all possibilities that could emerge from applying real-world applications of Chromovert across areas as diverse as therapeutics, flavors discovery, cell therapy and diagnostics.

Bozena Michniak, PhD., Selected as Editor of Skin Section for Harry's Cosmeticology 9th Edition

Bozena Michniak, Director of the LDD

   Bozena Michniak, Ph.D.

Director of the Laboratory for Drug Delivery, NJCBM 
Professor of Pharmaceutics
Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy
 

Dr. Michniak-Kohn’s main research focus lies in the area of topical and transdermal drug delivery. Her group is involved in the design and testing of novel dermal penetration enhancer and retardant compounds, investigation of their mechanisms of action and transport through the skin layers, molecular and computational modeling of percutaneous absorption as well as optimization and testing of topical and transdermal formulations. Studies involve novel carrier systems such as nanospheres and investigation of skin transport pathways using confocal microscopy, SEM, TEM, Raman & FTIR. Physical drug delivery enhancement techniques are also being studied such as iontophoresis and the use of microneedles.

Several projects involve a tissue engineered full-thickness human skin model which has been shown to possess similar drug permeability to human skin. Projects include evaluation of correlations between the drug permeability, stratum corneum lipid composition/organization, growth media composition, immunohistochemistry, and morphology and gross structure of the bioengineered skin. In addition, a novel polymer dermal scaffold is being tested in the model to improve its mechanical strength. Additional studies involve the effects of protective barrier creams on the penetration of chemical warfare agent mimics using various skin models.  

Part of the work includes in vivo pharmacokinetic & metabolic studies with drugs administered by several routes (topical, intravenous-infusion, bolus, and oral). In addition, the group is part of the $15M Rutgers NSF Engineering Research Center examining the scientific foundation, based on a predictive understanding of structure-function-performance relationships, for the optimal design of structured organic composites with advanced functionality.
