The skin’s microbiota is made up of billions of microorganisms, covering various species, living in community and closely linked to skin health.
Increasingly, the microflora is being studied using genomics solutions, and GenoScreen has developed a complete solution for analysing the skin microbiome. These technologies open up new prospects for the development of cosmetics, skincare products and personalised treatments for atopic skins. With its experience and know-how, GenoScreen has developed a complete solution for analysing and characterising the skin microbiome.
What genomics can bring to skin microbiota understanding ?
Metagenomics is the most complete and cutting-edge approach for characterizating and studying microbiomes, allowing to have a global overview of microorganisms in presence in any sample, and their functional potential.GenoScreen intervenes at different steps of any research and development project on skin microbiome. Our genomic solutions cover the following purposes :
scientific development
Impact studies
on skin microbiota of skincare product or active ingredient
Clinical studies
in dermatology or dermocosmetics to assess treatments effects on skin diseases
Active objectivation
Proofs of concept of active ingredients effects on cutaneaous microorganisms
Claim validation
, scientific based, to ensure product interaction with skin microbiome
R&D exploratory projects
focusing on skin microbiota
Prebiotics, Probiotics, Postbiotics
ingredients testing
Microbial communities exploratory studies - R&D collaboration
for biomarker detection, focused analysis for instance etc
Substantiation of «microbiome friendly» claims
proving that the concerned cosmetic product doesn't harm the consumer microbiota and his epidermis health
Scientific communication support
with ready-to-publish results
& microbiome expertise
Our solutions for skin microbiome testing and analysis
From your biological question to its technological answer, we bring together our technologies and know-how to offer the best solution fitting your project. Mainly performed on in-vivo human samples, our analysis can be conducted with other models (in-vitro synthetic reconstructed human epidermis, ex-vivo explant tissue cultures).
