Why Attend
With 2.35 billion Euros being spent on cosmetic product R&D in Europe, are you ready for the next generation of skin care?
Skin Microbiome continues it's reign as the 'biggest skincare trend' of the last two years, according to major market researchers and beauty bibles alike. This year, we present the first dual-track, data-focused skin microbiome congress:
Data Track: focuses on the hard data that supports and legitmises product and research claims while driving increased understanding of the skin microbiome.
- Commercial Track: tackles the challenges faced when building a commercially viable skin microbiome company, optimising your supply chain and executing successful communication strategies.
Discover the potential of prebiotic, probiotic and postbiotic products being developed to protect and promote a healthy microbiome and ultimately combat dermatological conditions from acne and eczema to dandruff and skin allergies. Don't miss your chance to understand the next generation of skincare products!

The Speakers
Dr Chris Callewaert
Chris received his PhD from Ghent University in Belgium. He is now a postdoctoral research fellow in the Knight lab at the University of California, San Diego. He investigates body odor and the characteristics of the bacteria living in the armpits, skin, clothes, washing machines and homes. He is the first to undertake bacterial transplants to solve underarm body odour.

Audrey GUENICHE obtained her Pharmacist degree and her PhD degree in skin biology more than 23 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 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 has published over 110 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 5 chapters in books, 2 specials issues in journal where she was the invited editor. She presented in over 80 international congresses and additionally she was personally invited to give more than 35 keynote lectures.
Gavin Thomas
Eile Butler Ph.D
Marisa Meloni Ph.D
Marisa Meloni got a PhD in Drug Delivery and Cutaneous Bio-physic at Renée Descartes University, Paris V (France). Thereafter, she was in charge for research and innovation within the dermo-pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry for 15 years. During that period, she also was contract professor of safety assessment and technology of cosmetic products at Milan, Salerno and Padua Universities.
In 2001, she created VitroScreen, a research laboratory committed to in vitro science that has the mission to be a reference partner for companies approaching in vitro alternatives, providing in vitro pre-clinical efficacy and regulatory toxicological services.
At VitroScreen she has developed “mechanism based experimental models“ on 3D reconstructed human tissue models for active ingredients and finished product testing: this approach better mimics the in vivo skin and epithelia response taking into account the dynamic of the biological response. VitroScreen is GLP certified and a member of the EU-Netval national reference laboratory network.
Arne Materna Ph.D
Marie Drago
Marie Drago is a French Doctor in Pharmacy and a member of the French Society of Cosmetic Science, with over 15 years’ experience working for successful and innovative skincare brands. After discovering how a prebiotic and probiotic diet could improve the symptoms of the gluten intolerance that had been plaguing her life for years, Marie got a Eureka moment: What if we applied the same science to skin?
Marie’s thesis on the microbiome and the enormous benefits of harnessing helpful bacteria gave her the vision and the know-how to create Gallinée’s formulations. Thanks to her pharmacy background and her beauty experience, Marie designed formulas like no other, and patented the triple biotic complex that you can now find in Gallinée’s products.
Ingmar Claes, PhD
Ingmar studied bioscience engineering at the University of Leuven, graduated in 2007 and obtained a PhD in cell and gene technology in 2011. He has an expertise in the field of probiotics, its molecular mechanisms and the topical application of these beneficial bacteria to restore the human microbiome. As bioengineer and microbiologist, he feels that it is important to translate this scientific research into daily products from which people at home and the community can benefit.
In the context of YUN, he is closely working together with the Department of Bioscience Engineering of the University of Antwerp, the Lab of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology of prof. Sarah Lebeer, the Lab of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmacy of prof. Filip Kiekens, prof. dr. Julien Lambert (dermatology) and dr. Gilbert Donders (gynaecology, the University Hospital of Antwerp).
He has experience with leadership in multiple R&D projects and he held a managing role in YUN’s R&D projects of the Flemish Institute for the Promotion of Scientific and Technological Research in Industry (VLAIO). YUN’s current range of probiotic products and therapies were developed under his supervision.
