Research summary
Our research platform is based on the reformatting of off patent proven drugs for the treatment of acne, dermatitis and fungal nail infections, to allow a much lower dose to be administered.
Understanding how the drug is absorbed through the skin and nails is therefore critical in our development studies.
To date our formulations have been tested on pig skin and we would now like to test these in human tissue as we believe this will provide a more accurate and relevant data set to allow the development of our formulations.REC name
