Laura Frazier, PhD is the Chief Scientist for TaikiUSA, a leading beauty contract manufacturer. She joined Taiki in 2021 to help develop new products based on polymer nanofibers. She has been working with electrospun polymer nanofibers for over 20 years and has been on the forefront of new product innovation, particularly as it applies to nanofibers in personal care applications. Prior to joining Taiki, she worked for over 10 years at a startup focused on scaling up the electrospinning process and developing nanofiber products for a variety of industries, including personal care and medical devices. Along with Prof. Jürgen Lademann at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, she developed and patented a new nanofiber product for decontaminating the skin, which won an innovation award at the Sepawa Congress in 2017. She has delivered over 30 talks on nanofibers to both national and international audiences. Dr. Frazier received her B.A. in chemistry and biology from Malone University and her PhD in chemistry from the University of Akron. Her dissertation research involved electrospun polymer nanofibers under the direction of Dr. Daniel Smith and Dr. Darrell Reneker.
