About
Felipe Oyarzún Ampuero graduated as a Pharmaceutical Chemist in the Austral University of Chile (2004). He obtained a “Diploma of Advanced Studies” (year 2007) and the degree of “Doctor in Research and Development of Medicines” (year 2011) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). Later he developed postdoctoral studies (2011-2013) at the Polymer Laboratory of the Universidad Austral de Chile. To carry out these studies he has received scholarships from MINEDUC (undergraduate) and CONICYT (postgraduate). In 2013 he joined to the University of Chile as an academic with a project on “Insertion of Advanced Human Capital in the Academy”. He is currently the Director of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology. In the teaching field he teaches to undergraduate and graduate students (Master's and Doctorate). He has been a researcher responsible for projects related to basic science (1 Fondecyt startup, 3 Fondecyt Regular, 2 Fondecyt postdoctoral) and several technological and/or applied science projects (Fondequip, Fondef and Corfo, among others). He has also been principal investigator in projects of different kinds (Fondap, Fondef, Fondequip, Anillo, Fondecyt regular, among others). The laboratory directed by Dr. Oyarzún has the necessary equipment to characterize liquid and solid formulations of different sizes (from nanometers to millimeters), their stability and the release profile of the active molecule contained. His main lines of research are: Encapsulation of active molecules (drugs and nutrients) in nano- and microsystems mediated by non-covalent interactions. Study of chemical interactions for the formation of nano and microsystems. Development of new materials for the pharmaceutical and food industries. Dr. Oyarzún has published more than 50 ISI publications, almost all of them from the first quartile. Below are the patents in which he appears as an inventor: **Accepted patents:** Application for USA: A new and green methodology to create polymeric nanocarriers containig hydrophilic low molecular-weight drugs and providing a very high drug loading and a very high prolonged release” (US/16/888,438).

About
Jonadab is a postdoctoral research fellow. He graduated with a degree in Medicine from the Fluminense Federal University, in Brazil. He studied at UCLA during medical school, where he also worked on brain tumor imaging research. Driven by a particular interest in neuroimaging, he has worked with different modalities in clinical studies, including structural and functional MRI, EEG source localization, and tractography. As a future neurologist, Jonadab is interested in the interplay between brain lesions and their clinical and cognitive manifestations. Currently, he uses ultra-high field MRI to study the mechanisms of cortical lesion formation and repair, as well as how these processes are related to brain remodeling and disease progression.

Example dermatology projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on dermatology?

Developing Skincare Products

A skincare company can collaborate with a dermatology expert to develop innovative and effective skincare products. The researcher can provide insights into the latest scientific advancements, ingredients, and formulations to create products that address specific skin concerns and deliver optimal results.

Clinical Trials for Pharmaceutical Products

Pharmaceutical companies can partner with dermatology researchers to conduct clinical trials for new drugs and treatments. These experts can design and oversee the trials, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and produce reliable data. Their expertise can help accelerate the development and approval process of dermatological pharmaceuticals.

Consulting on Cosmetic Procedures

Cosmetic clinics and beauty brands can collaborate with dermatology experts to offer safe and effective cosmetic procedures. These researchers can provide guidance on the latest techniques, technologies, and best practices in dermatological aesthetics. Their input can help ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.

Product Testing and Validation

Companies manufacturing skincare, cosmetics, and medical devices can benefit from collaborating with dermatology researchers for product testing and validation. These experts can assess the safety, efficacy, and quality of the products, ensuring they meet industry standards and consumer expectations. Their evaluations can provide valuable feedback for product improvement and regulatory compliance.

Educational Partnerships

Companies in the healthcare and beauty industries can establish educational partnerships with dermatology experts. These collaborations can involve organizing workshops, webinars, and training programs to educate professionals and consumers about dermatological health, skincare routines, and the proper use of products. By partnering with experts, companies can enhance their brand reputation and establish themselves as trusted sources of information.
