Lauder Collaborates with Epigenetics Expert via Happi

14 July 2020

Exploring interaction between micro signaling molecule and skin activities.

To further advance more than a decade of circadian rhythm research in skin, the Estée Lauder brand has inked a collaboration with Dr. Paolo Sassone-Corsi, director of the Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism at the University of California, Irvine. This research collaboration connects Estée Lauder’s skin biology research program with the expertise and complementary research focus of Dr. Sassone-Corsi.

This new collaboration will build upon Estée Lauder’s skin research and contribute to its recent findings by investigating additional molecular mechanisms related to a newly identified micro signaling molecule. The two laboratories will independently explore the interaction between this molecule and other skin activities, including circadian machinery, to deepen the understanding of how skin acts and communicates. This research seeks new information about how this powerful micro signaling molecule interacts with essential skin pathways, in order to better understand how to impact the “memory” of skin to help it act and look younger.
