Genemarkers is the leader in applying cutting-edge genomic technologies to the product development process. They have designed proprietary gene expression panels which screen for many functions such as anti-aging, acne, pigmentation, mitochondrial function & more. They can also challenge products with various stressors such as blue light or UV to determine any protective or reparative effects of products. Genemarkers is now offering next-generation sequencing, an innovative technology which detects novel and rare biomarkers, determines the effect of products on the skin/hair microbiome, and identifies epigenetic modification of aging, inflammation, and skin repair makers. Visit Genemarkers at Booth #109 or come visit us at Poster #621 during Poster Session 1 at to learn more about Genemarkers’ validated method for assessing the effects of blue light on the human skin.

“Genoskin is a Partner Research Organization with unique expertise in skin biology and immunology. Our mission is to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies obtain reliable human data prior to clinical trials for drugs, vaccines, medical devices as well as cosmetics. We combine our live human data generation platforms with hi-tech tools, unbiased data analysis and expert advice to generate accurate data and help drug development projects move forward.
Genoskin provides a unique range of human skin platforms for reliable first-in-human testing purposes. As opposed to animal skin or engineered models, all our models only contain real human skin that is kept alive for 7 days after surgery, thanks to our proprietary technology. This approach allows for a full week of testing opportunities on all the types of cells and appendages of real, live human skin. Our ex vivo human skin models are immunocompetent and allow for subcutaneous or intradermal injection as well as systemic and topical route of administration.”
ImaBiotech’s mission is to measure all the parameters that will explain the drug efficacy and reveal the high potential of new medicines using the latest technologies and scientific expertise.

Inozyme Pharma is a rare disease biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of diseases of abnormal mineralization impacting the vasculature, soft tissue and skeleton. Through our in-depth understanding of the biological pathways involved in mineralization, we are pursuing the development of therapeutics to address the underlying causes of these debilitating diseases. It is well established that two genes, ENPP1 and ABCC6, play key roles in a critical mineralization pathway and that defects in these genes lead to abnormal mineralization. We are initially focused on developing a novel therapy to treat the rare genetic diseases of ENPP1 and ABCC6 Deficiencies.
