A Visionary Leader in Science and Skincare Innovation

Pioneering Discoveries at Fox Chase Cancer Center
Dr. Tobia's journey in skincare innovation began in 1997 when the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia invited her to explore their research efforts to identify technology that could be commercialized.

In 2001, Dr. Tobia and her team of chemists at Fox Chase Cancer Center uncovered the impact of toxic sugars on the skin.
