Why Estee Lauder Is Teaming Up With an Epigenetics Researcher

Estee Lauder (NYSE: EL) is looking to put a new twist on skincare with a collaboration between the company and the laboratories of epigenetics expert Paolo Sassone-Corsi, according to a press release published June 1. The company has been researching molecular approaches to improving skin condition and fighting skin aging, work that meshes with some of the investigation carried on at Sassone-Corsi's labs. Estee Lauder started research on skin epigenetics and healing of the skin related to "circadian rhythms," or changes in the body through the course of the day, as far back as 2007.
