About the Webinar

The human skin is constantly exposed to environmental stressors, including ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can induce biological damage and contribute to photo-carcinogenesis and photoaging. To better understand these effects and evaluate potential photoprotective strategies, we developed and characterized an endothelialized bioprinted human skin model. This webinar will explore its application in assessing UV-induced damage, as well as its potential to advance research in skin biology and cosmetic science.

About the Speaker

Ana Júlia Pasuch Gluzezak holds a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of São Paulo, with a strong background in skin research, biofabrication, and photoprotection. Her work focuses on developing advanced 3D skin models to investigate the impact of external stressors, particularly UV radiation and environmental pollution, on skin health, as well as assessing efficacy and toxicity in vitro. She has experience in tissue engineering and the evaluation of new antioxidant and photoprotective compounds. Her research has been recognized at international conferences, including the IFSCC, where her study on endothelialized bioprinted skin models ranked among the Top 10 Applied Research papers.​​​​​​​
