TRI Princeton

The development of an automated test for monitoring split-end closure enables TRI to continue to provide excellent, reliable support for customers – especially those working within hair repair. In addition, more granular data generation means that split-end closure across a range of categories, for example hair type, enabling probing of treatments designed for different international markets or differing consumer hair profiles.

TRI Princeton is proud to have offered local students and their instructors the opportunity to come and see what we do. Hosted by Shamish Ganpule and Ernesta Malinauskyte, five students and two instructors spent the day with the team, seeing the work being undertaken in the labs by our scientists. 

Dr. Ernesta Malinauskyte was invited to the recent Princeton American Chemical Society (PACS) section meeting to present an overview of the human hair from a chemistry perspective. During the talk, she outlined how the key constituents – proteins, lipids, pigments, and water – govern the fiber structure, properties, and performance.
