“We are really happy about the fruitful
collaboration with ETH Zurich,” says Marc Winnefeld. “This kind of demanding
analysis is only possible through the expertise of external partners. With this
dedicated and trustful open-innovation approach, Beiersdorf has always succeeded
in working with excellent scientists from renowned institutes.”
Beiersdorf began the cooperation with ETH Zurich
in 2011 and worked on the subject as part of a PhD thesis. “The
interdisciplinary way of working – both in the collaboration with ETH Zurich and
here at Beiersdorf – was essential for the project’s success. Therefore I’d
especially like to thank Dr. Hila Emmert, Dr. Frank Fischer and Dr. Stefan
Gallinat,” says Janosch Hildebrand.
