Enhancing sunscreen DNA and photo-ageing protection

紫外线照射造成的皮肤损伤对个人和社区来说代价高昂，特别是在澳大利亚，那里的人口主要是白皙的皮肤。虽然说服人们使用防晒和避免日晒的公共运动是有用的，但这个项目将是第一个扩展这种方法的方法，通过将活性物质加入局部防晒霜或日晒后使用的面霜中，来提供一种减少任何确实发生的紫外线暴露造成的日晒损伤的方法。该项目还将建立用于光损伤转化研究的基础设施，将世界一流的研究设施与先进的配方和制造操作相结合。

Skin damage from UV exposure is costly for individuals and the community, particularly in Australia, where the population has predominantly fair skin. While public campaigns to persuade the population to use sun protection and avoidance have been useful, this project will be the first to extend this approach to deliver a way to reduce sun damage from any UV exposure that does nevertheless occur, by incorporating the active agents into topical sunscreens or creams for after-sun use. The project will also build infrastructure for translational research on photo-damage, combining world-class facilities for this research with advanced formulation and manufacturing operations.
