The team, led by Andy Goren, MD, Medical Advisor to the Department of Dermatology of the Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Carlos G. Wambier, MD, PhD, director of Cosmetic Research at the Department of Dermatology of the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and John McCoy, PhD, vice president of R and D at Applied Biology, along with other collaborators, have published their discovery in the medical journal Dermatologic Therapy.
