Dr. Ana-Maria Pena

Ana-Maria PENA obtained her master’s degree in biomedical and medical physics in 2002 (Babeş-Bolyai University, Romania) and her PhD in biophysics in 2006 (Lab. for Optics and Biosciences, Ecole Polytechnique, France). Following postdoctoral research (2007 - CEA, France), she joined L’Oréal Research and Innovation in 2007 as a scientist. She is currently working in the fields of multiphoton and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopies and their application to the study of in vivo human skin, in vitro reconstructed human skin and human hair. She aims at developing imaging-based methods that allow characterizing the 3D structure of skin and hair and follow their changes during and after application of cosmetic ingredients or physical stimuli. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-maria-pena-60720754; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9943-2513;
