With a Ph.D in cutaneous biology and as a former intern and pharmacist in the severe burns unit at the hospital of Lyon, I am passionate about the fabulous organ that is the skin.
Skin is a work of art and as such, I create original educational-artistic PEAUrigami® compositions for display in the medical office and waiting room. A fusion of my passion for skin and for Japan, PEAUrigami® provides an innovative perspective through skin origami. Handcrafted with skin papers, these origamis are educational-artistic tools that can be used to explain dermatoses and the physiology of the skin. This unique concept of medical art has been the subject of 4 publications in peer-reviewed journals.
I invite you – researchers and dermatologists – to co-create with me and to make personalized and unique PEAUrigami® compositions: such as a dermatosis that you specialize in; a skin structure that you are particularly fascinated by; or a design made with paper modeled on your own skin. And if you are as convinced as I am that an artistic approach is useful as a form of primary prevention for some dermatoses, we can carry out unprecedented, exploratory studies.
Dermatologically yours,
Corinne DECHELETTE, PharmD., PhD.
