Participants Needed for Skin Health 91直播 - pre- and post-menopausal women
Our researchers are interested in understanding how hormonal changes can affect skin immunity and how the skins鈥� ability to provide a barrier to the environment might be affected. Therefore, we want to look at changes in skin immunity and barrier function in the skin of pre- and post-menopausal women as this will help us understand how loss of oestrogen can affect these things.
We are looking for healthy volunteers, aged 18 and older, willing to participate in skin research studies.
If you are suitable for the study and agree to take part, we will invite you to attend the Dermatopharmacology Unit at Salford Royal Hospital on a single occasion. A blood sample will be taken from the vein in your arm. Up to four 6 mm biopsies will be taken from the buttock.
You will be reimbursed for taking part 鈥� this is in recognition of your time and discomfort.
