The HUB at Johns Hopkins University profiled a team of student engineers working on developing a face cream with a “fresh approach to fighting acne.” The three undergraduates have designed the new cream “No Inhibitions” that does not try to kill P.acnes, but instead tries to regulate its growth.
All three are chemical and biomolecular engineering majors, including Ariana Sherman, MD A 2018. Read the full article for more information on what sets this project apart from others and the potential patent applications for their product.
