- This image-based modelling study quantified microstructural mechanisms associated with the stratum corneum layer that enables skin to modulate macroscopic strains at the microscopic level. These results, potentially rooted in evolution, have vast ramifications across many scientific arenas and industrial sectors from wound healing, through personal care and consumer electronics. For part of this work Dr. Leyva-Mendivil was awarded the IOP Innovation in Tribology PhD Prize in 2016. The study has attracted interest from Procter & Gamble who funded a PhD project [Dr. David O’Callaghan, P&G, ocallaghan.d.3@pg.com] and Roche Diabetes Care who funded a 9 month study (£89K, Oliver Kube, oliver.kube@roche.com).
