Talking about how she turned her passion and interest in the biology of skin into a business venture, Cohort One alumni, Rosalind Hannen, has shared her experience of moving from looking at a “microscopic” level to seeing her research in a “global perspective” in the Queen Mary Bioenterprises H1 2019 newsletter. A view point Ros believes is starting to become more common in academia. For us at MTSC, it is always a pleasure to hear about the continuing growth and development of our alumni community.
Keratify aims to change in vitro skin testing practices to one that improves accuracy compared to existing methods. In Ros’s own words, “we have created a new skin testing platform that we believe is the most effective way to maintain skin in culture.”
