Princeton,
NJ - TRI/Princeton, an international leader in hair and
cosmetic chemistry research, is proud to announce that Jennifer
Marsh of Procter & Gamble, UK, has won the Best Paper
Award from TRI's Second International Conference on Applied
Hair Science. The $3,000 prize, provided by Wella AG, was
given to Dr. Marsh for her presentation on " Measuring
Damage to Hair from Retail Colorant and Bleaching Products
using HPDSC," which was co-authored by Chris Gummer,
Marc Dahlgren, and Colin Clarke. The paper explored the physical
and chemical changes to hair by using High Pressure Differential
Scanning Calorimetry. They found that several of the formulation
components cause transition temperature changes.
Winner: Dr. Marsh received her MA in Chemistry and
her PhD in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry from Oxford University,
UK. From 1993-1995 she held a post-doctoral position at Texas
A&M University. She is currently with Procter & Gamble
at their Rusham Park Facility, where she has been for 8 years,
working as a technologist in hair care and hair color. The
first 3 years of her career with Procter & Gamble were
spent in the automatic dishwashing category as a consumer
and product researcher. Dr. Marsh's areas of expertise include
bleaching and oxidative chemistry, hair structure and hair
color technology.
Conference:
The Conference, which was attended by 175 participants, was
a phenomenal success and provided key members of the cosmetic,
raw ingredient, and hair care product industries with the
unique opportunity to learn about new techniques, methods,
and tests from their peers. The proceedings of the Conference
will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Cosmetic
Science.
TRI's
3rd International Conference on Applied Hair Science will
be held in 2008; dates, location, and abstract submission
information will be released during the summer of 2007. However,
