Update August 2024: The University of Bradford signed an agreement with Coegin Pharma (Sweden) to commercialize groundbreaking topical hair and skin pigmentation altering peptides.
Update 2019: Dr. Kevin McElwee from Canada is now a professor at UK-based University of Bradford’s Centre for Skin Sciences (CSS). Also, some of the below mentioned hair loss researchers and scientists may no longer be working at the University.
Update 2018: The University of Bradford and Follicum have entered into an agreement regrading developing new peptide drugs. Research collaboration will begin in 2019, and entail both hair loss and diabetes.
On this blog, I have discussed important hair loss research that is being undertaken at universities around the world. The most renowned/widely covered work is happening at Columbia University in the US (under Dr. Angela Christiano), Durham University in the UK (under Dr. Colin Jahoda) and the University of Pennsylvania in the US (under Dr. George Cotsarelis).
Hair Loss Research at The University of Bradford
However, recently, while reading about Dr. Valerie Randall’s keynote presentation at the 22nd annual ISHRS meeeting, I realized that the University of Bradford (UK) where she works at perhaps leads all universities in the world in terms of the amount and range of hair loss related research being conducted there every year.
On the University’s Centre for Skin Sciences (CSS) staff page, one can see the names of some of the world’s leading hair research scientists. It is led by Dr. Julie Thornton.
Besides Dr. Randall, among the better known of these researchers include Dr. Des Tobin (lot of research related to hair pigment changes); Dr. Natalia V Botchkareva (lot of research related to MicroRNA’s impact on skin and hair); and Dr. Vladimir A Botchkarev.
They also have an Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) that likely collaborates closely with the CSS.
Tenes idea de cuando Jahoda comenzará las pruebas en humanos? Habia leído que luego de su ultimo descubrimiento en 2013 (había logrado generar cabello desde un entorno en 3D creo) quería empezar cuanto antes.
Thank you, admin! It’s great to know that even more minds are searching for the answer. Humans have an interesting history on great discoveries…call it the collective consciousness or just plain competition, but when people are looking at a problem in multiple places, they get it done. Consider the race to make the lightbulb. (;
Muchas investigaciones pero nada de resultados . . . nunca algo nuevo . . . cuando llegaran las nuevas noticias????
@admin what places or physicians now do hair multiplication?
Alguien sabe si el 2015 nos va a sorprender con algo nuevo? ??? Alguna medicación?
no creo, hay que esperar los resultados de replicel hasta 2016.
Lo de histogen y los de la clinica en españa que estan con celulas madre.
Luego esperar que empiece las pruebas en humanos tsuji lab o jahoda.
He oído que histogen está trabajando muy duro para poder comercializar lo antes posible en EEUU un producto comercial para la alopecia androgenetica? Será cierto???
Por otro lado en japón cuando empezarían con la fase 2???
Replicel dijo hoy en un comunicado que los 160 participantes de la fase 2 tienen que estar en prueba por 39 meses para el juicio final. Hay que esperar 3 años para ver los resultados???? no entiendo nada. Replicel hace unos meses me respondio un correo diciendome que en 2 o 3 años habría un producto comercial. Alguien sabe algo???
si Gustavo les mande un mensaje por Facebook y efectivamente habrá una espera de 3 años.
Hay que ver si van informando de resultados parciales.
Y despues 3 años mas para la fase 3???? no hay esperanzas entonces, estamos hablando de casi 2022. No tiene mucho sentido discutir ahora, estamos recién en 2014. Desilucionado.
Give it time everyone they have to perfect there product before it can be on the market.
4 years, is not a very long time ;)
That’s if everything goes well. And if phase 3 is a success or not
