Emily Owen

Emily joined EIP as a patent scientist with a background in Chemistry and Life Sciences. Her PhD in Biophysical Chemistry was based at the University of Bath, where her research primarily focused on using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to monitor skin barrier function. Emily was also involved in wider projects which explored the use of medical devices to detect and monitor infections.
