About the project
The project aims at investigating the skins extracellular lipids, where the composition is known to be affected by common skin disorders such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Little is known how these disorders affect the skins lipid organisation and barrier function, as well as how pharmaceutical excipients interacts with the lipids, which will be investigated using arrange of techniques such as x-ray diffraction.
