Christina Enzmann
MD, PhD, NMCP, FACOG
Dr. Christina C. Enzmann, is a board-certified OB/GYN, originally trained and employed in Germany at the well-known University-Clinic-Hamburg-Eppendorf. During her first years as a young physician, she had the rare opportunity to be trained in gyneco pathology and cytology, serving as a liaison between the department of OB/Gyn and Pathology, taking part in the cervical dysplasia clinic. Observing things closely, and often under a microscope, has long since been her passion. Her interest in surface cells and their function was further realized through her doctoral thesis in pediatric dermatology, in which she examined measurable skin parameters in newborns throughout their first three months of life, and their correlation with environmental factors and intrauterine exposures. It was during this time that she was able to examine the disruptive effects of bar soaps and detergents on the skin and mucosal membranes.
