Cosmetology & Dermatology

Audrey Gueniche obtained her Pharmacist degree and her PhD degree in skin biology more than 20 years ago. She is an expert on immunology and microbiology. Her main expertise is on skin topical treatment and food supplement for skin and hair health, especially using probiotics, natural extract and bacterial extracts. She is currently a SENIOR CLINICAL EXPERT in LOREAL RESEARCH. She has a complete experience from the actives through formulations/ vitro evaluations/ preclinical studies to clinical trials. Her passion is to always reinvent evaluation and find new fields of area in term of actives to promote.
She have published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 5 chapters in books, 2 specials issues in journal where she was the invited editor. She presented in over 70 international congresses and additionally she was personally invited to give more than 30 plenary conferences.

Prof. Daniel Aberdam completed his first degrees in life sciences at Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris, France) and his PhD at the Weizmann Institute (Israel) on the oncogenic potential of homeotic genes. During his postdoctoral stage, he discovered the identity of genes responsible for severe human skin diseases that then allowed the first antenatal diagnosis for junctional epidermolysis bullosa syndromes. His scientific interests turned on epidermal gene regulation with the identification of skin specific promoters. Then, his group has focused on the physiopathology of stem cells and designed original cellular models from embryonic stem cells that recapitulate embryonic normal and pathological skin and cornea formation. It allows the characterization of genes and signaling pathways involved in these critical steps and their involvement in skin defects found in patients affected by human congenital disorders, like ectodermal dysplasia syndromes. This team was the first to demonstrate the ability of pluripotent stem cells to produce a full thickness skin and to use unusual metabolic pathway of pluripotency. More recently, the group used cell reprogramming of patient samples modeling in-vitro genodermatoses and identified small compounds able to rescue the phenotype.

Having obtained a GeoPhysics Masters Degree from University College London, Kit is R&D Director of JooMo Ltd., inventors of the world's first ever 100% truly natural and preservative free face wash. His pioneering research into the skin microbiome is leading the way for the industry. His discovery of the first ever mechanism to test the health of skin due to the diversity of microbes present has allowed him for the first time to begin to answer the question "Are synthetic ingredients in modern cosmetics causing the skin allergy epidemic in the western world?". As a follow-up to this, he published the findings of a pan-European project in February 2018, detailing the effects certain cosmetics products had on the skin. His aim, along with JooMo's, is to revolutionise the industry into a research-led, health preserving one.

Prof. Monique Simmonds OBE, BSc, PhD, is Deputy Director of Science at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Her research draws on a long-standing interest in plant-animal interactions and the chemistry and economic uses of plants. Her current research is on the economic uses of plants/fungi, in particular their potential as pharmaceutical leads, especially anti-biotics, as well as uses in over–the-counter products such as cosmetics. This involves studying the chemistry of plants and fungi, the biological activities of extracts and isolated compounds, and using the new DNA based phylogenies to assist the selection of species for containing compounds that could be of use in the creation of new cosmetics. In many cases she is capturing the knowledge as to how plants protect themselves from UV damage, oxidative and water stress and using this knowledge to identify plant compounds that could provide a similar type of protection in human skin.

Prof. Simmonds is interested in the development of chemical and DNA authentication methods to check the quality of plant-derived products being sold as medicines, cosmetics and functional foods. These projects often involve the development of benefit-sharing strategies with collaborators and supporting plant conservation in developing countries.
