Conference scope
Scientific Topics
Six connected perspectives on natural products, cosmeceuticals, and wellbeing.
Microbiome & Epithelial Barrier Function
Mechanistic insights into microbiome–host interactions, epithelial barrier integrity, immune regulation, and their implications for skin health.
Neuro-Dermatology & Psychodermatology
Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying skin–brain communication, stress-induced skin responses, and emerging therapeutic strategies.
The Enteric Nervous System & Neuro-Gastroenterology
Biological mechanisms linking the enteric nervous system, gastrointestinal function, the microbiome, and skin physiology, with opportunities for nutritional and therapeutic interventions.
Formulation Science & Downstream Delivery
Formulation and delivery platforms and technology to optimize the stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery of bioactive compounds.
Natural Product Discovery & Ethnobotany
Discovery of bioactives and development of natural products for skin health with respect to traditional knowledge.
Regulatory Affairs & Sustainability
Harmonizing scientific innovation with global regulatory frameworks and environmental preservation.
