Knowledge Exchange and EnterpriseOur research has a strong enterprise ethos, and we believe that major advances in skin and health care can arise from bridging the gap between academia and industry.
We have a strong track-record of industrial collaborations. For example, we collaborated with leading sport clothing manufacturers to map regional differences in skin sensing across the body, to inform the design of sport clothing that improve thermal comfort and performance. Also, we co-operated with global goods manufacturers to model the biophysics and physiology of wetness on the skin, to improve the design of absorbency products for babies and adults, as well as of antiperspirant deodorants. |
