What's Happening?
The 2026 Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference is set to focus on systems biology as a central theme, bringing together experts from academia and industry to discuss innovations in skin ageing and longevity.
Professor Rachel Watson from the A*STAR Skin Research Laboratory will deliver the keynote address, highlighting the skin's role as a 'window' into systemic ageing. The conference aims to explore new opportunities for innovation in functional skin care, building on two decades of collaboration in the field.
Why It's Important?
The emphasis on systems biology in skin care represents a shift towards understanding the interconnectedness of biological systems in ageing. This approach could lead to more effective anti-ageing treatments by targeting the underlying biological processes rather than just surface symptoms. The conference serves as a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and fostering collaboration between scientists and industry leaders, potentially accelerating the development of innovative skin care solutions that address ageing comprehensively.
