Dr. Deborah A. Kayode serves as Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Science and Full-time Director of Cosmetic Science at Long Island University, specializing in evidence-based cosmetic product development with particular expertise in cellulite pathophysiology and formulation science.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Cosmetic Science, University of Sunderland (2021)
- M.Sc. in Drug Discovery and Development, University of Sunderland (2015)
- PGDip. in Clinical Pharmacology, University of Aberdeen (2014)
- B.Sc. in Biochemistry, Ajayi Crowther University (2012)
Dr. Kayode's research program centers on the human integumentary system with emphasis on gynoid lipodystrophy mechanisms and novel anti-cellulite treatments. She pioneers rheological characterization techniques for cosmetic formulations while developing innovative quality control methodologies that bridge laboratory testing with consumer sensory experiences. Her work establishes scientific foundations for cosmetic claim substantiation through rigorous in vivo validation protocols.
Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent advancement in cosmetic formulation science, particularly regarding oil-in-water emulsion systems. Her research demonstrates sophisticated integration of rheological analysis with sensory evaluation, develops stability assessment frameworks for natural oil-containing products, and creates novel quality control metrics linking refractive index measurements to skin hydration outcomes - collectively enhancing scientific rigor in cosmetic product development.
Dr. Kayode has mentored 15 undergraduate and master's students through research projects while maintaining significant industry engagement through product validation services for cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. Her notable BBC collaboration on The Truth About...Looking Good featured rigorous in vivo testing of anti-cellulite treatments, demonstrating real-world application of her research methodology. She additionally established comprehensive quality assurance guidelines for laboratory operations and continues to lead the Cosmetic Science program as Director.
