Université Catholique de Louvain
Conditions:
Skin Pigmentation
Free Radicals
Eligibility:
All Genders

Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the signal of melanin using Electron Paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Melanin is a paramagnetic pigment detectable by EPR. Recent advances in instrumentation allows the...
Detailed Description
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), also known as electron spin resonance (ESR), is a spectrometric method enabling the observation of the absorption of energy by the free radicals contained by a s...
